Matt, are you aware that there is (I think) a typo on one of your songs?

"Calm Wathers" came up today on my stream, shouldn't it be "Calm Waters"? If so, you might want to contact the Executive Director for Proper Song Titles at Pandora for correction. smile

--Steve

>PS Nice song

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I will do so, thank you! EDIT: Done.

I was one of the earliest artists accepted by Pandora in 2006. I can’t believe this has been wrong all this time. I don't think it has...

And thank you for the kind words about the music. When we go into a brisk double-time in the middle of the song, after my solo is an awesome performance on piano by the late Warren Bernhardt, of Paul Winter, George Benson, Steps Ahead, and Steely Dan fame. Pianists from all over have praised his playing here.

For anyone else reading, since I composed all nine songs on this album by using BIAB, Dr. Gannon granted me permission to mention it on this site.

Interesting. We’ve released four albums to all the platforms including Pandora. I was under the impression that once they go live there is no option to edit a title - could be dependent upon the distributor I guess. Now I feel like I need to check all of ours. smile smile

Wow, it took 16 years for someone to notice that and say something?

Sometimes artists can get creative with words but when I saw "Wathers" today for the first time I said, hmmm, that don't look quite right.

As an artist on the platform do you have a way of quickly verifying this error or do you have to wait for the song to randomly appear like me?

Btw, are you working on a follow-on album to Brazilian Wish?

More "music royalty" here . . wow!

I searched "Janice and Bud" and nothing came up.

I don't think it was wrong all these years. I just double-checked Spotify and Apple Music to be completely certain they were ok. I need to pull Pandora's registration info from 16 years ago to see if I made the mistake. I wrote to their artist support when you alerted me, so we will see. Again, thank you.

I continue to do more composing and arranging than performing at this stage of my career, but I have appeared on a dozen or so CDs for other artists who hire me to do arrangements, play solos, and give their albums a jazz touch.

No problem, I'll continue to stay alert when your songs come up on Pandora.

Thanks, Don! A few hundred thousand more plays and I can buy you a beer.

Steve, they actually replied and are fixing the typo.

Just streamed the whole thing on YouTube Music. You may have made a penny from that!! Everything looks spelled correctly there by the way! Fantastic music. Loved it.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

You mention Steeley Dan. I learned that the ledgendary Larry Carlton played the intro/solo on Don't Take Me Alive from this video.

George Benson? Love the guy. Masquerade (I believe written by Leon Russell) is one of my all time favorite songs; it's a bunch of fun to play that on the bass.

I don't know Steps Ahead, Bernhardt or Winter. Have to research them.

That's not bad customer service by Pandora: less than a week to fix. And again, thank you for noticing and alerting me.

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."
