My Canadian cousin Helen Gaynor-Mills of Muncton, NB, suffered a serious stroke today. She's hospitalized in the Sussex Hospital. Condition: Guarded. I ask my many PG friends worldwide for positive thoughts or prayers during her current health crisis.
This is only hours old so details are still sketchy but I will update on this thread as more information becomes available.
Helen had a dual career as a Nurse and Elementary School Teacher. She loves kids, singing, playing guitar, teaching clog dancing, Maritime fiddle music and good fun.
This is a recent picture (well 2009) of Helen and her "Monster Plant".
Update: Helen suffered no motor skills damage but she has severe confusion and memory loss. She answers each question by parroting the same question.
A forum friend, Dani, suggested sending her a compilation album of BIAB songs. I know she'd love that and music has amazing healing powers that I've witnessed first hand in my Nursing Home. Any who want to contribute some music can link me to them (perhaps on box.com) and I will compile them on a disk or thumb drive and send it to Helen.
You folks are the absolute best on the planet.
I think this should be done quickly - no later than April 30th! All wanting to share your songs can go to this link and upload them, please. Helen loves all genres so don't be shy or hesitant.
Hi Donald Sorry to hear this. Trying to upload some songs but I think you may have to share the folder with me first?

Hi Don and my thoughts are with your cousin, may she make a good recovery. The right doctors and treatment these days can work wonders. Also glad to hear that there is no motor functions impaired, her brain will sort out the confusion given time.
Unfortunately I have no music to pass on, though it is good that there are so many others on here that have done so.
Just received 4 tunes from Danny Campo for Cuzzy Helen.
Danny, your wonderful generosity never ceases. She'll absolutely love them.
I wanted her to see our HootenDanny but it's too large a video for upload to box.com without being split. Box.com limits individual files to 10 gig. Bridget's file is about 18 gig.

Any suggestions for a video file splitter?
Microsofts own "Windows Movie maker" can do that for you Don, depending on the original file type, just sending the file through movie maker and outputting it as a WMV file may compress it enough to reduce the file size without having to split it too. OK there may be a very slight loss in video quality, but if the quality is good in the first place the compression is hardly noticeable.
There are other alternatives to your file sharing site as well, you can upload it to Youtube and then select the privacy level on there which comprises three different levels,
Public, where any one can see it,
Private where only people given the URL link can see it,
I am the luckiest man on this planet to have such wonderful and loving friends. A sincerest "thank you" to you all. You have me sobbing "happy tears".
When Helen becomes responsive, I'll post her reaction to this wonderful display of love only to be found among these wonderful people. We ARE one big family without borders bounding our love and respect for each other.
We've topped 84 songs today and several are complete Streetjelly performances of an hour each! You folks are the absolute best! I thank you for Helen as well as myself.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
