Dean, You da Man. Love the vocal additions. Great mix- sounds spectacular! Super job on this. You have really opened up my mind to a genre I may not have spent enough time on. So thanks for that. Hope you feel better soon. Tom

Sergio,
Thank you. This was such a blast to make among the four of us guys. The more we got into it, the more ideas for funny additions were contributed by all. Jamie Rhind takes one of the best B3 solos I ever heard. And it was a pure pleasure just to be arranger and accompanist. That's the role I've always preferred. I'd much rather back up a good soloist than solo myself.
Happy New Year!
Dean

Tommy,
You paid me the supreme compliment in that Off Topic forum and I'm glad our mutual admiration society continues to cook along. My feeling is that blues guitar at the level that you play it is an art in itself. It's something you can't fake and no amount of rocket science theory can help you if you don't have it. My stock compliment to those who do is, "You're the reason I never took my guitar anywhere near that kind of music." And I tell this to metal guitar players too who use these tapping techniques as well as those monster bass players who play 64th notes. With two fingers. I could have practiced just that right-hand technique for a lifetime and never gotten close.
Oh yeah, you're the reason I never brought my guitar anywhere your kind of blues. And whenever you get the urge for a little fancier accompaniment, just farm it out... TO ME!
All the best in the new year my friend. Keep on!
Dean

Man, that B3 sounds huge!! This song
has COOL written all over it. You've always
made those RT players sound like you
had played with them for years.
Here's hoping as mentioned that this
will be the latest and assuredly not
the last.
Very best to you.
J&B

Hey F.M.M.
Your kind wishes are most appreciated and your remarks about my jazz musicianship are as sobering as they are uplifting. You know, there's something funny about the guitar: It's the easiest instrument to play right away. Learn three chords and you're off to the races.
But when you try to advance to the level of modern pianists and horn players, it turns into the nastiest, most difficult instrument. Think of a piano keyboard wrapped around itself 6 times. You can play the same thing in four different positions. Unlike the piano, you can't play two notes a half step apart without using more strings: a heavy penalty. The cost is not having enough strings left to get that piano voicing onto the guitar.
That box has been my voice since the age of 7, so there's no walking away from it.
Good to hear from you man.
Dean

Hi Peter,
I hope Forum members understand that I've been dealing with this stuff since about the age of 11. So, except for the last month, which was unprecedented even for me, most of it is just another day at the office. And luckily, I live in one of those states with ... how shall I abbeviate this since Federal Authorities are watching ... a medmar program. Diffused in canola oil, it's kept me out of emergency rooms for 5 years. Previously, I had tried all the biologic treatments you see advertised on TV - Remicade, Humira, etc. These were all arthritis drugs that big Pharma thought could squeeze a few extra bucks out of if they could get it to work on other inflammatory disorders. I don't know a single member of my crew who got any benefit from it.
However, I thank you for your best wishes. The warm response of Forum members has kept me going.
Dean

Sonny,
You're so kind - I feel that warmth, man. I've been going around getting second and third opinions after seeing a neurologist who ordered innumerable tests (MRI for a stroke - damn, I would have known if I had a stroke, bloke! Glucose tolerance test to check if I'm a diabetic. Come on, medic, I ain't no diabetic!) To say nothing of special neurological blood tests requiring the use of only special labs. I could see a wild goose chase staring at me with neurology. But there is some reason for optimism from two other directions. It does not seem that this is the peripheral neuropathy associated with auto-immune disease after all. I'll keep my mouth shut until I have some evidence.
Dean

Hi Janice and Bud,
Of course, our deepest bows for your kind remarks. Actually, there were two B3 players at work here. Jamie Rhind soloed - and did he ever bang that one across - and I comped and played left-hand bass. That is what I really love to do, because the bass is the last frontier of jazz organ. The equivalent of, say, a Jaco has yet to appear on the instrument. There is only one player in the world that actually does the pedals, comps chords with the left hand and solos with the right: The German B3 player Barbara Dennerlein. You can see close-ups of her high heels dancing all over the pedals on YouTube. So it took two guys to do what Barbara alone could do. But it worked.
As always, thank you for your warm wishes. I have no plans to make that my last guitar lick. It's just the last one for now.
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."
