I agree.

Fantastic guitars.

Loved it.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

For you and Ms. Di, I hope your Christmas and New Year's Day celebrations are meaningful, and memorable smile.


Hi Loren ...

Thank you so much for the very, very nice comments. Your reviews are always such a pleasure to read. I liked your cruise ship analogy!

We had a very nice Christmas - thank you. Hope you did, too. We we gathered at our granddaughter's house? Our family is small. We've buried three of our children and the several grandchildren - except the one where we celebrated last night - live quiet distantly from us. Our daughter and her husband, our granddaughter and her husband, and Di & I comprised the entire gathering. But we had a very good time. Santa was good to all of us!

Wishing you well and a wonderful 2022.

Alan & Di

HI Bob ...

Thank you so much. And the acoustic Clapton reference put a big smile on my face! Thanks again. And wishing you a wonderful 2022.

Man, you really know how to come up with most loveable songs - your talent seems to know no bounds.

I think Di caught the feel and nailed it with that title.

Really so lovely.

All the best to Di and you - we'll keep in contact.

Hey You Two ...

Basierend auf dein letzten E-Mail scheint es, als hätten du und Maha ein ruhiges, aber wunderschönes Weihnachtsfest gehabt. Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, das gelesen zu haben!


I appreciate your very nice comments so much! Most of my compositions take 6- 20 collective hours of effort, although some have taken weeks, even months.

And yes, I enjoy reading your emails! Thus, I am sure we will remain in contact.

Best to you and the lovely Maha ...

Alan & Di

Torrey,

You are always so generous with your comments regarding my compositions. Thank you very much!!! I wish I could be more active on the forums. But Di's declining health keeps me away much more often than in previous times. But, she is my priority and I'm okay with that.

Wishing your 2022 is the best ever.

Alan

Hi Mario ...

Thank you very much. Sure do appreciate all that! Should I send you the bill for the bigger hats that will now become necessary?

Take care ...

Alan,
wonderful composition! Very smooth. Acoustic Alchemy comes to mind. Clear mix & listens very well. I need to take a master class from you on composition. Thank you for sharing and Happy new year!

Misha.

Very pretty tune Alan!!! You are the master of the BIAB instrumentals!! I would add a bit more verb, but then again, I'm a bit of a reverb addict smile. Mix is very good as is!! Happy New Year!! Take care. Greg

Di's description is spot on for traditionally built houses in Australia - the hall was a straight line from front to back door and was referred to as a breeze way...vents above both doors to provide air flow when the doors needed to be closed.
It was to catch the cool breeze or to generate air movement inside on stifling days.
This does sound warmly familiar, smooth and comfy.
Nicely done Alan.


Cheers

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."
