I enjoy singing "A Pirate Looks At 40" by Jimmy Buffett. We do it a bit slower and I make it a bit more melancholy.

I play Christopher Cross' "Sailing" on the wind synth, and that's fun. I use a soprano sax patch.

I sing "Beyond The Sea" - Bobby Darin-ish version and that's a lot of fun.

We play Frankie Ford's "Sea Cruise" and it's fun to sing and play guitar on.

I sing the Beach Boy's "Surfin USA" and struggle with a guitar solo that is 80% energy and 20% technique. The energy pulls it off to the audience. laugh

We don't play it but "Cool Change" by the Little River band is nice.

I'm not a big fan of much of Claude Debussy's music, but I think "La Mer" fits his impressionist style very well and I like that one a lot.

Tchaikovsky's "The Tempest" which is about the Shakespearean storm at sea is a great piece of music.

Gino Vannelli's "Storm At Sunup" is nice too.

And I like "Wooden Ships" by CSN a lot as well.

Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic" is another good one.

Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen" is another good one. Did you ever notice the rhythm was borrowed from Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"?

But a favorite? Sorry, they are too many great ones to pick just one.

LOL, nice Danny! I often thought that of the song too but it's a good one.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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.

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."
