Always so much to reflect on and give thanks for on this day. Often it's things that may not be apparent. I am not close to my family. In fact I haven's spoken to any of them outside of my one cousin that was the brother I never had and who I love dearly. I am so thankful for the small amount of people I can call friends that every year fill that void on a day when we reflect on our past year. Many of you know I suffered a huge loss when I had to say goodbye to Scruff. We were together so long that it was truly losing a family member. We went through a lot together and she was always there to comfort me when times were bad, when I was sad or angry about something, just always there. And now she's gone. But had that not happened I would not have found Chunk. He's been here going on 7 weeks now and it seems like he's been here forever. He is a great companion. He's as friendly and agreeable as any dog I have had, with a true streak of black lab in him, so I can be pretty sure my yard will always be squirrel free! He has not had a bathroom accident, he rides in the car with no motion sickness, and he walks on a leash like a perfect gentleman. He is very friendly to everybody we meet on walking trails. We are still negotiating bed space bed, but I'm pretty sure that will be ongoing. To all of you who were there to help me through to loss of Scruff, I am truly grateful. Of course nothing erases the pain of that kind of loss, but every kind word and every word of assurance that I gave her the best life she could have ever had helped me weather that storm. We've all had to make adjustments as we deal with Covid, unpredictable due to it never having been see before. I laughed as I heard all of the idiotic “Oh, it's just like Swine Flu was” comments, idiotic because for someone to say that, they would have to have had both Swine Flu and Covid. I have music world friends who lost a whole summer of work and income, and I know that sucks. Fortunately most of them, being my age, were not sent to financial ruin because they have other sources of income. I am thankful that my friends who are still working have had the option to work from home and continue to draw their salary. And in fact many are in a better position due to not having commute expenses, and far better rested without having to get up and drive to an office. But that is done! And only a fool trips over something behind him. I appreciate the people I have in my life, that my financial situation is stable, and that I have everything I want. Literally. More than 1 of many things. As I look at Black Friday and Cyber Monday ads, I just think "I need absolutely nothing." So to everybody here, Happy Thanksgiving. From me AND this guy!! 
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

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."
