Jim Morrison meets Alice Cooper meets Mick Jagger. Just my impression. Excellent. Thank you.

Gruverider,
Thank you for the comments.
I have always been musically unique and I really appreciate the Tom Waits comparison.

Thanks Tom,

It WAS a hell of a journey, the song was simple LOL! in comparison. It just shows how versatile BIAB can be.

Thank you for your comments, praise indeed coming from you.

ROG,
Too much of the something "to relax" after a day's work/ at the end of a day, was the start of my problems LOL. Even tho' I rarely drank to excess when I was a professional before my life medically destroyed.

David Bowie's very early material was a great influence on me, "Memory of a free festival" still sticks out in my mind. And of course "the Laughing Gnome!!

It took a while to get to fruition but BIAB has to take FULL credit for the music as all I had were the chords.
I am so glad it is over.

Thanks for commenting, I await your next opus also.

Janice and Bud,

Thank you for your comments.
Yeh I lost friends to that demon but also made exceptionally close friendships from the few that also escaped.
That song has at last closed that chapter of my life.
Please share it.

Thank you

Alyn

EXCELLENT!

That is all that I can add to what already has been said.

I buried one young friend due to alcohol and I have another 50 year old friend who drank himself into an assisted living dorm! Not fun! But I am glad that you won your battle!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Alyn

I listened to this the other day but for some reason I didn't want to be the first to comment. It is such a deeply personal song with the angst and anguish coming pouring out. So, I preferred to see what others had to say. Now it has all been said. So glad that period of your life is over but, hey, something really awesome came of it and that is this song!

Thank you Joanne,
I thought long and hard about posting this song and did not expect such a response. I thought it would be quickly off the 1st page!
Thanks for the word awesome! and for commenting.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
