Song Title: Peloton in my Basement
***
I wrote this (hopefully humorous) song about a my love / hate relationship with dieting and the Peloton bike in my basement.
***
Lyrics:
Eating lots of cheese and hotdogs
Eating lots of cake and pie
I wish I could switch to arugula and beets so I could be a more healthy guy.
***
Seems like every time I look
I see a delicious high calorie treat
but I only have one stomach and there so much food to eat
***
Step into Starbuck's for black coffee
and walk out with hot chocolate and a muffin

Sometimes I feel like a Teddy bear who's been filled with too much stuffing.
***
There's a Peloton in my basement.
I need to go down there.
Cause I don't like how I look in my underwear
Why can't losing weight be as easy as loosing hair.
***
I tell myself that for lunch
I'll have a side salad and I'll skip the dressing
but the more that I think about it
it starts to feel depressing
***
I chew on my celery stick
And I wish I was eating a French fry
And I sip from my bottle of water
but I'd rather be drinking a Mai Tai
***
Every day when I put on my clothes
my pants feel a little bit tighter
And every time I step on the scale
I realize I'm not getting lighter
***
There's a peloton in my basement
I need to go down there
***
If God said to Adam if you eat that fruit
You won't look good in your birthday suit
Would he have taken a bite?
Based on my experience I don't think so.
If Moses led his people to the promised land
and they found a place where desert was banned
would they have stayed there?
Based on my experience I don't think so.

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.

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.

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."
