  1. I have a few jokes about unemployed people but it doesn't matter, none of them work.
  2. Greatest Hits plus Bim Bam - Sam Butera A great New Orleans style sax player and decent singer from days gone by. My dad used to like him. He let Louis Prima's band for many years. I added the Bim Bam video for the dancers.
  3. I'm not so good at the trial part, but I've gotten proficient at making errors.
  4. Thanks all for the help. I'm going to pull the trigger on the Zoom Q2n-4K today. Notes
  5. And that's exatly what I'm fearing
  6. Great rock song by Chi who sings and plays piano on the cut. Sadly I can't find out who the sax player is Thunder And Lightning - Chi Coltrane
  7. I hope they keep their bikes 2 meters apart :D
  8. lyrics: In the white room with black curtains near the station Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings White Room - Cream
  9. "Good Bless The Child" - Blood, Sweat & Tears We opened for them in the 1970s and I was extremely impressed with their live performance. This is the best version of the old Billie Holiday classic that I've heard. Of course I haven't heard them all, and it's just my opinion FWIW
  10. Cry Cry Cry - Bobby "Blue" Bland Triple word score?
  11. My wife just found out I replaced our bed with a trampoline; she hit the roof.
  12. Right now it looks like I'm going to go with the Zoom Q2n-4k I won't be doing live stream, just recording and posting on UTube. The audience I chose to target here in Florida are retired folks. It's a huge market, and I've been playing that one since I was 40 years old. They aren't the most tech savvy group out there, so pointing them to a UTube page should be fine. Definitely landscape mode, and the aspect ratio will depend on some experimentation. I'd like to get both of us in with little or no wasted horizontal or vertical space. It's not going to happen overnight. I just found out my roof needs resurfacing, and since I'm not gigging due to COVID (and not getting gigging money) I might try it myself. Notes
  13. Association: another prison song Parchman Farm - Mose Allison
  14. I had an LTD Faux Les Paul once. Decent guitar, but the frets were soft and the pickups a bit buzzy for my tastes. I got it in a trade for some of the styles I write for Band-in-a-Box. I replaced the pickups with GFS Meand 90s and then I was happy with it. I quit playing it when I got my Parker Dragofly/Maxxfly from their custom shop. LPs are a bit heavy for me. I switch instruments between sax, flute, guitar and wind synth on the gig, sometimes switching mid song. After a few hours of that, a light weight guitar is appreciated. Notes
  15. It was something I used on a very old MIDI sequencer that only had 120ppq resolution on an Atari ST computer. I used two measures to equal one, doubling the value of all the notes and got a resolution of 240ppq, which was much better. That was way back in the early days of MIDI. No you don't need me, you can certainly do your own. I make them in Band-in-a-Box in PG Music's StyleMaker app. You can find it in one of the drop down menus. A couple of people e-mailed to ask, so I'll add it here as well. I have an entire disk of EXPANDED styles at http://www.nortonmusic.com/style17.html with audio demos. Notes
  16. "Take Five" - Tito Puente Yes UTube can suggest some interesting thngs
  17. New FREE EXPANDED User Style for Band-in-a-Box. Band-in-a-Box has always had these limitations. 1) You can't put a chord both on a beat and the eighth note before that same beat 2) You can't put more than 4 chords in a bar of music Norton Music invented EXPANDED styles in the 1990s to overcome these limitations. Using EXPANDED styles you can put up to 8 chords in a 4/4 measure and that means you can put a chord on a beat and the eighth note before the same beat. You can read an explanation on how it works, listen to an audio demo, and download a FREE EXPANDED style for Band-in-a-Box here: It's a simple, basic Rock/Country/Pop style. It demonstrates how Norton Music EXPANDED styles work and it's yours FREE for the download. For more information and your FREE style, go to: http://www.nortonmusic.com/expanded.html Enjoy
