  1. This is really interesting, well done, and the guy can sing...
  2. I did Apple for a number of years. They are even more aggressive in their "upgrade or perish" policy than Windows, it's a lot more expensive, and the OS isn't really all that different. I let my software decide which OS I use. The StyleMaker app in Band-in-a-Box Windows has more features than its Apple app. It lets me write better aftermarket BiaB styles. Since that is part of my musical income, it requires me to have a Windows PC. For years the styles weren't 100% compatible (they are now) so I needed to also have a Mac. The Mac required expensive updates. They went from Motorola chips to IBM chips to Intel, then changed to a version of Unix, and on and on and on. Each change rendered my existing software apps obsolete, and so they also needed expensive updates -- that is, if they were still in business. If I had some software that I need to make a living with that worked better on Apple, I'd still keep up with Apple's upgrade or perish policy, but since I don't, I'll live with Microsoft's upgrade or perish policy.

  3. Every time either MS or Apple needs a stock boost, it's "Upgrade Or Perish". I plan on sticking with Win10 for now. I'm in no rush to be a virtual beta tester for Win 11. Let them get the bugs out first, and if I see a clear advantage to upgrading, I will, if not, I'll wait until Win10 is about to expire. I still have an XP computer that works fine, and as long as I don't connect to the Internet, it does what I want it to do. Notes ♫
  4. A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall. The police are looking into it.
  5. Dmitri Shostakovich, Symphony No. 7 in C major, Leningrad (1941) - London Philharmonic / Valery Gergiev
  6. Straight, No Chaser - Thelonious Monk When I was gigging in a jazz band in the 1980s, we played this one often.
  7. I wanted to marry an English teacher when she got out of jail... But you can't end a sentence with a proposition.
  8. Space Is the Place - Sun Ra & His Arkestra
  9. I found this one doing another Band-in-a-Box project for one of my customers. One nice thing about making projects for BiaB is that it introduces me to some music I may have never stumbled on before. This is one, and I plan to investigate the group some more. The UK guys on this forum might know about them than we do in the USA. It's interesting and a bit quirky. 78 Stone Wobble - Gomez
  10. Eva Cassidy - Blues Alley Concert (IMO Eva left us way too soon)
  11. Original: I'm Into Somethin' Good - Earl Jean IMO inferior cover by Herman's Hermits They knocked the Earl Jean song off the radio and I never forgave them for that
  12. Beechwood 4-5789 - Marvelettes We opened for a few Motown acts back in the day, and these nice gals were one of them/
