Ho, Ho, Oww, Thanks for the help of the Biab soloists- Leftwich, Jarvis & Franklin. Sounds like

If The Dog Don’t Bite Santa


Santa saw your facebook page and to make your Christmas merry

He’s buying you some brand new clothes and a great big dictionary

Grandma bought some batteries and attached them to a note

Toys are not included and that is all she wrote


If The relatives they start to fight like they have in the past

Put some mistletoe in your back pocket and they can kiss your

Well I guess it’s time to celebrate so pass the Christmas cheer

And if the dog don’t bite Santa we’ll have a Happy Holiday this year


Lights are on the front porch but no snows on the ground

Cause it’s 80 degrees and the wreath we hung is looking mighty brown

Frosty the snowman ain’t gonna melt cause he’s made of styrofoam

Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant :-) Tapped my foot from beginning to end. Lyrics (and their humour) is/are superb, the vocals make it really special, the writing is stellar, the solo mandolin is a great choice ... seriously, BRAVO. Hats off! One of the more pleasant Christmas songs I've heard in a while :-) Merry Christmas!

Tommy, you are on a roll! Saw those names, and had to give this a listen. Cool song. I was going to mention some of my favorite lines, but realized I'd just be reposting the words to the entire song! Creative and funny and a great sound!

Best Christmas song I've heard in a long time (okay, I usually skip Christmas songs, but you get the idea).

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your lyrics and how you deliver them. Brilliant!

Oh, man, this is brilliant, Tom. What a great band. The lyrics are just perfect and the changes are superb and ideal for a Christmas song. A lot of tension building in and the release is such a treat. You're right, that law firm really can jam. The lyrics are all terrific, but this is my favorite line: "Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home." Sounds like a Yogism.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4

Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
