John Coltrane, when asked by Miles Davis about the length of his solos, said "I don't know how to stop." In perfect Miles Davis fashion, Miles replied "Try taking the ****ing horn out of your mouth."
Miles Davis was a treasure trove of quotes.
Don't play what's there, play what's not there. You've got to know the rules before you break 'em. When you are creating your own s***, man, even the sky ain't the limit. I’ll play it and tell you what it is later.
I just loved Miles attitude.

Aaron Copeland was known for his wit and wisdom. When asked, "Is there a meaning to music?" He replied, "Yes, of course there is." Further, he was asked, "Can you state, then, in so many words what the meaning is?" To which Mr. Copeland replied, "Therein lies the problem."

Lawrence Welk, stoic as he appeared on stage, had a wicked, dry sense of humor. I don't remember who told the story, but it was a trumpet player. During a gig the guy had to go to the bathroom, and as quietly as possible he snuck off the stage in mid set. At the break, Lawrence asked him what that was all about. The guy told him he had to use the bathroom and couldn't wait. Lawrence looked at him, and purely deadpan, said "Bathroom? You knew about this gig a month ago."

"Turn it up to 11 and rip off the knobs" .... Not sure who said that... but sounds like something I would have said or perhaps even Spinal Tap.
" Man, if you gotta ask, you'll never know " Louis Armstrong said this when asked to define jazz. Note: I have this taped on my monitor in the studio.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

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.

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."
