Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 10571 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 10571 Loc: GA USA	My Santa Man After a remix with new fx and mastering of Santa Man (for a Songtradr submission) and since it’s obviously a Christmas tune we thought we’d do a rare repost from three years ago. In the spirit of the Holidays perhaps you can forgive us for that! So here’s version 2.0 of a little two minute Christmas ditty…. Happy Holidays and thank y’all very much for your time to listen to our songs and comment over the past year. We appreciate you! J&B For the tech folks...

Well worth a repost, such a fun song, and always a treat to hear Janice do her thing I don’t recall how it sounded then but man, you knocked it out of the park with mix V2! Sounds fantastic through my studio ‘phones. Very much enjoyed hearing this! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

Sound like the old days, but better of course, because of the vocals! On SC I wrote they (sometimes) call me the Santa man too. Is that a good thing? For you? Nice Christmas too, Hans _________________________ Hans Berkhout (Birchwood) https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130

Bud, I did not hear this first time, so will comment on what I am hearing now. You done excellent work in mixing/mastering this. Got nice vintage vibe to it, as this style of music deserves, yet everything is audible and vocals are clear! Thumbs up to one of my favorite creative teams! BTW, love the photo. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

How about sticking a couple of guitar breaks in there after each pair of verses. It is the blues after all. And a damn good one. Keep 'em coming. _________________________ Music is what feelings sound like.

Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 17305 Loc: Australia Noel96 Veteran Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 17305 Loc: Australia	Janice and Bud, This version pf "Santa Man" really does the job and then some. There's nothing I like better than listening to Janice singing against a blues backing. Her vocals and the blues sit together so comfortably that it's like that proverbial match made in heaven. I'd love to be able to write in the blues format as well as you two do. Unfortunately, it's a genre that challenges me so all I can do is sit back, listen and enjoy... and when it's a J&B creation, that's a really, really easy thing to do! Many good tidings for Christmas and 2020, Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac Review – Users' Dreams Come True

Read all about what "Dr. Dave" Walker thinks of his latest copy of Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac with his review, Band-in-a-Box for Mac 2021 – Users' Dreams Come True.

"2021 is a big leap forward to the best Band-in-a-Box for Mac yet! If you have been putting off upgrading, or even if not, NOW is the time to upgrade! And if you haven't got it yet, you owe it to yourself to get Band-in-a-Box 2021.

Maybe the most important point from all the talk about this version is that PG Music is listening to you, their customers. So if you have a feature that you really want in the program, write to them or chat from their web site. Let them know and yours just might be the next feature added."
-"Dr. Dave" Walker

Thanks again Dr. Dave for your enthusiastic feedback, we're thrilled that you love what we've done with Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Mac!
