With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore...... and everyone else for that matter. 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through our house, Not a creature was moving, not even my mouse, The presents were placed ‘neath the tree with much care, The problem? – MY BAND IN A BOX DISKS ARE THERE!! My wife asked me weeks ago “What can I buy You for Christmas – a new shirt, some shoes. Or a tie?” I said “Don’t want undies, or hankies or socks, I want the new upgrade for Band In A Box.” She said “That’s alright, you can order and pay, But remember – no opening until Christmas Day” So my Band In A Box sits, wrapped under the tree, But sometimes I’m sure that it’s calling to me. “Come, come and play with me, I can do lots, I can freeze tracks, I can do holds and shots, I quickly load Real Tracks, there lots of undos, With a heap of new styles – jazz, rock, folk & blues.” But I’ve had my instructions from the long suffering wife, “Don’t open till Christmas – or you’ll be in strife” So here I sit patiently, till Christmas Day, When I’ll tear off the wrapping, install it and play, But don’t tell my missus, or there’ll be a fight, I downloaded last week from the PGM site. So I’ll have to pretend that it’s all very new, And I’ll have to act puzzled, as I work my way through, So while I anticipate joy and delight, Merry Christmas from Oz, and to all a goodnight.
Cheers, Keith

Very good, Kieth, I got a good chuckle from it.
And as you already know, the new features are way cool.
Cheers, Jim

Very original, Keith - my son and I had a good laugh. You'd better be a very good actor Christmas Morning, and steer clear of the run eggnog or the truth will out, mate. Cheers - Ian

(to no particular tune ... for good reason)
My new BIAB 2010 upgrade is also Wrapped and under the tree. At least that's what I'm hoping Can't open it, yet you see.
For unlike 'Keith from Oz' I'm waiting. I didn't attempt the download. My Verizon DSL connection is So slow it would likely implode.
And though I admit I'm a bit worried My laptop might not like the upgrade. I CAN"T WAIT(!) until Christmas morning With all the RealTracks to be played.
It'll be like the Christmas my parents Hid a Sears autoharp under the tree, Or the Christmas a couple years later When they gave an Epiphone 12-string to me.
Only this time there'll be a whole band With so many instrument choices; With styles galore, and so many new options, Along with those TC-Helicon voices.
So though I can't open it yet, I'm waiting with great anticipation. And the best thing of all (besides Christmas!) Is I'll also be ON VACATION.
So I'll have a few days to test it And work out all of the kinks. Then with the help of BIAB 2010 I'll be posting a batch of new song links.
(At least that's my goal!)
Merry Christmas, Everyone.

New BIAB 2010 installed without a hitch, Though RealBand's installation did have a slight glitch. But after a reboot and a couple more tries, Both packages ran well - what a pleasant surprise.
My old laptop worked fine too; though someday I'll change. But for now it still works to record, play and arrange. Applause to PG Music for an amazing feat. No high-end computer needed. Now that was a treat.
A little Velcro helps hold the new harddrive in place So it won't slip and slide all over the place. And a twist-tie helps manage the fancy new cable Especially when I'm not at my studio table.
I'm a happy musician, thanks to PG Music, With a whole "Band in a Box" sounding much less "electronic." New software installed, new songs to be "penned." New inspiration thanks to BIAB 2010.
I hope Keith from Oz and all the rest of the new BIAB 2010 are just as pleased as I am!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?
