  1. 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
  2. "Take Five" - Tito Puente Yes UTube can suggest some interesting thngs
  3. 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

  5. A cop just knocked on my door and told me that my dogs were chasing people on bikes. My dogs don't even own bikes...
  6. "Let The Good Times Roll" - Louis Jordan
  7. Thanks. I don't want to use the phone because I don't like the aspect ratio. Too skinny in letter, to short in landscape. Notes
  8. "Doctor, there's a patient on line 1 that says he's invisible" "Well, tell him I can't see him right now."
  9. I stand corrected. I'm in on this.
  10. Jeannine - Eddie Jefferson and Richie Cole
  11. I've never played one but looking at it, it's beautiful. If you get it, we all expect a full report.
  12. Well Wibbles, she's a big sister, girl, princess.... I guess,,, "She's Everything" - Brad Paisley
  13. Europa - Santana & Gato Barbieri I used to play Gato's version of Europa on sax, I don't play guitar well enough to do Santana's version (yet), and since it is Carlos' song I might be interesting to hear them do it together. I'm clicking play along with you, they are both great musicians, let's see if the click together
  14. Recommendation please: A good camera for live performance. We're really missing gigging, and many of our 'extended family' of fans have been asking us to record performances and put them on YouTube. So we're thinking about setting up, putting a stationary camera on a tripod, and recording some live performances. The camera would be stationary as we have no one to run it, especially in COVID times, and if possible I'd like to take a balanced output of my PA and feed that into the camera directly. If not I suppose an external mic might be a good option unless the camera itself has a good mic. Since we are unemployed, I don't want to break the bank on this, but want decent quality. Any suggestions? Thanks, Notes
  15. I went to a smoke shop to discover that it has been replaced by an apparel store... Clothes, but no cigar.
  16. Mr. P.C. - John Coltrane It's his tribute to Paul Chambers, his long time bass player
  17. I saw an ad for burial plots, and thought to myself "This is the last thing I need."
  18. There is more than one measure of a hurricane. The hurricane of 1968 killed a 1,000 people in Florida, but they built a dike around lake Okeechobee and kept the death toll down when stronger hurricanes came through and the population had grown. The dike saved lives, but at the cost of the wildlife and ecology of the Everglades (you seldom get something for nothing). Laura one went from TS to Cat 4 in record time. I'm not an alarmist, or a left or right winger. I'm a lifelong moderate who thinks the folks at both ends of the spectrum are out of bounds. But when I see storms as massive and destructive as Andrew, Sandy, and Laura being so huge and forceful, an upward trend in the number of major storms per year, a general upward trend in the total number of storms per year, and the water temperatures (fuel) being warmer they have been since we started measuring it, it's easy to put 1+1 together. I'm not going to go out on a limb and say what is causing them to be stronger, as the scientists at the Miami Hurricane center (who also believe they are getting stronger) have several theories, all of which have multiple causes. I live in a hurricane zone, so I watch them intensely, read a lot about them, and have the hurricane center in Miami bookmarked, it's survival. I've survived quite a few (so far - so good). And RobertWS, I do believe we are living in great times, but I'm not going to put on rose colored glasses and pretend it utopia. I still think we can make it better, and in the long run we will make it better. But I'm confused as to what that has to do with hurricanes? We have earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, volcanoes and hurricanes during the best and worst of times. Notes
