I have always admired those wonderful eccentrics who dare to be different and consequently make our world a far more colourful and interesting place to be. This is a song about one such luminary , Vali Myers (1930-2003) . Gone but not forgotten. Please forgive my rather unlovely voice as I attempt to introduce you to Vali and perhaps you may recognise a little of yourself in her.I hope you do. Lyrics. That woman is not afraid to wear a funny hat Or tell you what she thinks of this or that high heels,pink dresses , hair in a clutch I could argue -- it was---a little too much a multicolored peacock print on her shoulder no fashion rule could ever hold her being t he woman that she has to be the universe has set her free she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. she talks to birds and she talks to trees she talks of rainbows and erotic dreams she eats raw cabbage and seaweed soup went skydiving in her birthday suit A herb garden sits in an overgrown yard her house is BoHo - Avant-Garde a mischievous smile a whimsy wit will cast a spell for your benefit she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. she loves to dance and it's plain to see full of cre-a-tiv-ity she has a little fox and a big black crow known as the witch of Posi-tano A shock of red hair all wild and curled shes a little bit lost in her own little world Stunning once again in her bright silhouette she likes hanging out with the secret set she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. ============================== I was feeling lazy and let biab do all the work with some cutting and pasting and pushing and pulling. tempo 120 This is a very simple song. verse G A chorus G D A Style is _ROKAARP.STY RealTracks in style: ~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 630:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanDirty Ev 120 (A:arp) RealTracks in style: 634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (B:8ths) RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealDrums [in style:RockEven8: a: Snare, HiHat b: Snare busy, HiHat 671 B3 organ 2203 Guitar soloist 2346 horn section 405 acoustic guitar strumming.

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."
