James Oscar Smith (Hammond B3) and John Louis "Wes" Montgomery (guitar). Two boss men. This Wes composition is widely known under the title Road Song. However, it first appeared in a Verve album of the late '60's as OGD. The letters stand for .....................obsessive gumpulsive disorder a rare illness causing people to chew gum in their sleep. Just kidding. Actually, it illustrates how the A&R people at the session come up with the names for tunes. Generally the players don't. Now, I happen to know what these letters - O G D - stand for. Here's a hint: they're just some objects hanging around the studio that day. It's really dumb. You'll never get it if you start thinking fancy. Any takers? I decided to give it a different name altogether ..............................................JAMES AND WES The drum track was constructed from many different RealDrums tracks. All of them feature Terry Clarke and Craig Scott, my two favorite drummers. I play the other instruments.

Before I peek at the other comments, I'm going for organ, guitar, drums, especially since those tracks are featured. Wow, do you ever play sweetly!! I played guitar for 30 years, and improved for the first two. Thank God for BIAB. If I could play like you, my family would fire me for never spending any time with them. AWESOME!! Take care. Greg

Sonny What words can a mortal human being come up with to respond properly to these response? Thank you just doesn't seem to do it and I wouldn't put on a big song-and-dance of false modesty. So, I'll stall for time by explaining how the guitar/organ thing came about. My original instrument was guitar. I had a few lessons as a kid, which were a waste. A decade went by and I picked up the instrument again but I had really fallen head over heels for the Hammond B3, which I consider the greatest invention since the wheel. Not knowing which way was up, I thought I had a chance at a music career as long as it wasn't in my birthplace, NYC. Every single gig was sown up by a group of real MONSTERS more than twice my age and way more than twice as powerful. So I got out of town and also got a hold of a beat up Hammond CV, a church version of the B3. It had solid sides, adding to its already immense weight. I didn't plan on playing like Jimmy Smith, but neither could I find anyone who could play it as good as Mickey Mouse. Time went by and I determined that I would never hear the guitar/organ sound unless I learned the instrument myself. Keyboard became my main instrument and I put the guitar away for 20 years. When I picked it up again, I found that I was playing a style that no one was played any more. After I joined the Forum I began putting in insane hours of practice on three instruments - I had also fallen in love with the fretless bass. My chops started to respond, but I struggled with the new technology, the DAWs, mixing, etc. I'm still struggling. Peter, Guenter, Tommy, Sonny, Fred, Charlie - your generosity and kindness are what have me in back-pedal mode. I do have a story to tell on these instruments and limited time to tell it. Having other players who are interested in hearing my story fills me with a gratitude and sense of accomplishment that outruns words. Dean

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."
