Been thinking lately about what my final messages should say.

Anyone care to share what they plan to communicate on their stone or obituary?

Not interested in names or dates, just music on non-music related messages.

A search for "gravestone" came up just once in a post back in 2012 so apparently this is not a topic folks are dying to talk about wink

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.

None for me, I'll be tossed into an incinerator.

I want either

I told you I was sick

or

I am a musician just decomposing


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.

A decomposing muscian . . . nice.

I guess that means lots of hole notes smile

Howdy SS....and all others.

Same for me....cremation station with as little expense as possible.
I'll gladly return to simple carbon and stardust.

Back to it....

One of the non-profits I helped when I was an active computer programmer gave me one I kind of like:

'He wrote a program for us. There were no problems and there were no questions.'

Torn between getting creamated or donation of parts of me to search teams for dog training..... But my current plan is to live forever and that's going just fine so far.


You can find my music at:
www.herbhartley.com
Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You can do both, Herb. My succession is set up that any organs they deem to be useful can be harvested and then the remainder is to be cremated.

If I was going to be buried my only final request would be to be buried face down so the world can kiss my azz...

There's been some funny ones here but only Matt seems to get where I'm going with this with his computer program message.

Everyone, especially songwriters have something to say.

Those that choose cremation, donation or research you do realize that you too can have a gravestone, an obit and a last word or two?

Echos of Kansas?

Here are a few I found, one I wrote.

“Each tool is laid aside worn with work done with pride”
“I pray that the union of these states may be eternal”
“In some new brain the sleeping dust will waken”
“Ever strong, self wrought, never weak, truth I sought”
“I did it my way”

A little off the subject, but towards his later years, Bob Hope's wife asked him where he would like to be laid to rest.

His response;
"Surprise me."


Cheers,
Keith

I hope it'll be like my departure from my working life: a simple, quiet, end of year/term/day with no announcements, no party or gathering.
All of my instruments are going to a local high school anonymously.
I'm partial to organ donation etc. but that'll be up to my wife as spouses still have a final say even if I've filled in & submitted the forms.
She's "keen" to see me burn, though I'd rather casket free decomposing, vertical and unmarked.
Then again I might get religion or something and want a seeing off/welcome.


Cheers

This one gave me a chuckle.
You can still put that on a gravestone, but do you really mean the world; including PG Music?
I think they are a wonderful company . . .

"DOS Survivor"

BBQ for me. Would be nice if ashes could be stuffed in a firework (c) and do a short light show over the river.

When I die, I would like a “burial” at sea.

Weigh me down, and drop me overboard so that my lifeless body can give life to the crabs, catfish, and others. I'll have no use for it anymore, it may as well be recycled as food for others.

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."
