Hi, Steve.
Nice instrumental! I knew there were a lot of people working there, but 10,000 (including various outposts)? Wow.
Codebreakers did some amazing and critical work during WWII. Apparently many people's work there wasn't officially recognized until 2009. Yep, nearly 7,500 women worked there at the height, they represented about 75% of the total. They had 3 shifts providing 24/7 coverage. And I understand the work was so grueling that some of the women collapsed under the pressure. I envision they gave them a few hours to rest/recover and then they were back at it. Then on top, you know who was responsible for the housework at home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Bletchley_ParkThanks for listening.

My eclectic musical tastes reaches Enigma, and my enjoyment of history and what humans are capable of makes me thrill in the knowledge of those times. I like the way this one starts out with a Morris-code beat. Man, I like the way you craft your music. Using Churchill was perfect. EXCELLENT tribute. Thanks so much Marty. We really owe that generation a lot, at the very least, they should inspire us. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Great!! Very cool!!
My father-in-law, God bless his sainted name, Jack Robinson, came from that generation.
Fresh out of Cornell University, and joining the army as an engineering officer, quickly rising through the ranks, he was placed in charge of all of the US machine gun factories, primarily responsible for making sure that the machine guns were up to spec when people got off the boats at Normandy and stuff.
Hell of a guy. Smart as hell and friendly as hell and loved his Scotch. He also was written up in the New York Times as having invented the first financial forecast modeling calculator for manufacturing by taping together three paper slide rules, along with a short instruction manual.
Yes there will never be another generation like that. Never ever ever. My father-in-law never could understand why he could do more stuff in his head than most other people could do with a computer and a phone loaded with 50 apps.
Plus he was one of the funniest guys that I've ever met.
There's a great series on Netflix (or there used to be) called World War II in Color and you can see what that generation was like.
Mind boggling.
Thanks for this great song that celebrates this generation.
Every one of us owe them a huge debt of gratitude. We literally wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. Hey David, thanks so much for the favorable review and the amplification of the theme I tried to express. Jack, sounded like one heck of a guy and I'm sure I would have gotten on with him quite well. I still have my high school slide rule and over my career I also worked on weapon systems. The next time you visit him, do pass on my thoughts. Hey Pops, I know it's been awhile but I've been busy lately. Anyway, there's this dude I recently met. They call him Bass Thumper. He can be a bit of a wack-a-doodle at times but basically he's ok. I shared a little about your contributions during the war at the gun factory and he agrees with Tom that you guys were the greatest generation ever. He also said to pass on just 5 simple words to you . . . "Thank you, job well done!"

Great concept. Intro-ing and outro-ing with Morse was very clever and what follows is a great instrumental, though for me the WC talkie bit spoiled it, even though pertinent. Had the music been more period it would have worked well, but that's just minor opinion. Hi WaoBand, thanks for the listen and review. But I must disagree about Sir Winston, he was quite necessary.

Well crafted piece, both musically and technically. Your music a delight to listen to and Churchill was a nice touch and apt reminder for today. Is their a message in the Morse code? Hey Storm, I always appreciate your reviews. Many thanks. Extra points for decyphering the code

Peter Many thanks for the listen Peter. And Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, so I'll take that as a huge compliment. --Steve

Hey fs, thanks much for the listen, glad you enjoyed it. WWII has so many lessons for us today. Hate may not win in the end, but it sure can generate carnage.

Wow, what a great tune and tribute. Just fantastic and very touching. I won't go into detail, but my Grandad fought in that war and I've always been grateful for his sacrafices. He died at the age of 92, and now a sword and a gun that he brought back with him from Germany has been left for me. When my oldest son enlisted during operation Iraqi Freedom he was assigned to the same unit portrayed in the WWll series "Band of Brothers". Several of the guys portrayed in that series later personally contacted me to express appreciation for my sons sacrifices (bronze star / purple heart). It was truly a great generation. Thanks for your efforts.
Brad

Steve,
Very cool track. Wonderful groove, FX and bass playing. Mix is clear. This is one of the best tracks I've heard by you.
Interesting subject too. It's unfortunate and tragic that many people of the free world are flirting with authoritarianism. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Misha. Hi Misha, many thanks for the listen and feedback. Glad you liked the groove and glad you agree that authoritarianism is tragic. We have a lot to thank the folks for at Bletchley Park; they and others really stepped up when it was needed.

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."
