Just heard the news about the passing of Peter Green.

One of the greatest of all guitarists in my opinion and a sad day now he's gone.

RIP Peter.

He was 73 chronologically, but he really put his body through a lot. His battles with mental illness were well documented. Another great talent that life did not treat well. So many of these stories anymore. Puts me in mind of the old joke that is more truism than joke, that "If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself when I was young." Sadly by the time we understand that, it's too late. Heavy smokers dying from lung cancer (Bowie), cocaine users dying from heart attacks (a LONG list), drinkers dying from alcohol related problems (Gary Moore), other from prescription drugs (Prince).... Much that people do when they are young simply can't be reversed by stopping whatever their vice of choice is. Makes me really sad that people don't treat themselves better. I guess riches make it easy to go there. Losing people like this makes me glad to be poor sometimes. I can't afford vices.

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

RIP Peter.

Always loved Albatross.
My brother played it at my fathers funeral and I played it at my brothers.
I hope someone plays it at mine.

Cheers.

Sad news indeed frown It needs no explaining the impact Fleetwood Mac made on music. I grew up with their music - R.I.P. Peter Green

Very sad news indeed.

He was so instrumental in the delivery of Mick Fleetwood and their team to the world stage.

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!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

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

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
