Bob,
Good to see you here. I really was "between gigs" a couple of Saturdays ago and caught a bit of you and Leilani at the PSL Elks. You had the dance floor hopping, as usual.

That same night I popped in on Ray Gaumant in Stuart and Ben Hart in Hobe Sound. (I stole a little bit from each of you... )

You might remember me a.k.a. "Party of Two" with Carol Ann. She still sings with me on a limited basis...mostly during the season. She has totally recovered from her illness, but the economy has put a bit of a damper on bookings for the duo. Glad to see the Sophisticats still working.

Hi Eddie!

Good to see you, too!

A lot of "between gigs" goes around here in the summertime

IT was one of the first places that hired us when we started our duo and it has always been a nice gig for us. There are a lot of nice members there.

That's how we got it

Of course I do. You two had a nice "act"

Can we talk politics here? We've been in a recession since this administration took office almost 8 years ago, and they have been too inept to get us out of it. IMHO this is the worst administration I have seen in my lifetime and perhaps in US history. It's time for a regime change, don't re-elect the bungling fools.

I never thought I'd miss Bill Clinton, but I do (and I didn't vote for him either).

Oops, I guess I did get political.

Thanks. We're glad to be working too!!!

Summer is usually slow, but we do enough to keep our head up. This is when I take the time to write new Band-in-a-Box style disks, and I'm getting ready to release a new style disk, a new MIDI intro/ending disk, a new fake disk and a new chord substitution disk by Jim Wedd. Each disk is less than the price of a tank of gas and will last much longer

Bob - Now that I hear you are (or have been) associated with PG Music, I have a question. I've been agitating at BiaB for years, trying to get them interested in adding a "Real-Time-Arranger" mode to BiaB. This mode would use BiaB styles but follow Midi-In chords in real time, similar to One Man Band (OMB). I realize BiaB styles would lose some of their variability and sparkle, without knowing what chords are comming, but it seems to me, this mode would be a great asset to an already great program.

Do you know if PG Music has or is considering such an addition?

Bob, welcome aboard, I use BIAB as a learning tool and have read your valuable input. Somewhere along the line I think I may have purchased one of your products.
