● 'The (Norton Music) Style Disks are a good buy. Many of them do a great job of showing off Band-In-A-Box's capabilities, and one of them just might give you an idea for that next million dollar song.' - Electronic Musician Magazine

● 'I bought a disk and some individual styles from 'Notes'. They really are as good as the Real styles. Not sure how he does it.' Erik Hansen (Posted on the Yahoo Band-in-a-Box group.)

● 'Bob, I purchased three of your newly released fake books. I would like let you know how much enjoyment I am getting from them. They are a bargain. For the work you guys put into them it is hard to believe. The style selection and arrangements are excellent. One song is worth the price of the software. I have purchased many fake books from you over the years, these are great. Keep up good work,thanks.' - Tony Difurio

● 'Thanks for the great work you do! I've used many of PG Music's styles as well as yours in creating our backing tracks and find yours bring them to life much more easily and with much less tweaking.' - Mike Dustan, Maple Ridge, BC, Canada

● 'We feel fortunate that someone on the BIAB forum suggested your fake book disks to us. For amateur musicians, you and your wife provide a very valuable service and quality product that is very useful. You have been very kind and patient in answering our simplistic questions. The end result is that we are able to bring a little cheer to the folks in retirement homes and hospitals. It's incredible that some who may have not spoken for months begin to sing some song that they recognize. We look around and many are smiling and tapping their hands or feet. This is the payment that we receive and we are very thankful for it. I wish more 'senior' musicians would perform some tunes for the infirmed folks.' - Stan Smith - Redding CA

● 'I decided to check out your styles disks, because everyone in the user group was 'talking about them. WOW! I listened to your samples and what a difference they are from the standard BIAB styles. ...Your styles are GREAT! Fantastic! Creative! Outstanding! -- I can't come up with enough superlatives to describe them. Thank you for taking the time to create them and for sharing them with others! - Alice Bartley' - Renton WA

● 'Happy to report that I was able to download to disk and then had no trouble getting it installed in BIAB. Have made tapes of several tunes and am playing over the wonderful backups with my cello or clarinet at many of the convelescent facilities I 'teach' my adult education classes in 'Adventures in Music.' Thrilled with your tasty backkups and appreciate variations in second choruses etc. - Dave Walter - Livermore CA

● Thanks you so much for the quick follow-up with my order. Was afraid I would have to wait a couple of days for the email delivery.

They are just what I needed to help get me 'out of the box' and on to the next level of playing. - Frederick S. Fahrner Jr. - Santa Cruz CA

I know you've probably heard it before, but thanks for the great job!' - Rob Fish - Powell, Ohio

● 'Norton gives us what Band In The Box needs most; styles that jump 'OUT of the box' and into your imagination!' ~ Steve Cox, Memphis, TN

● 'In fact I will be recommending [in my new book] that people not even use Band-In-In-A-Box UNLESS THEY USE YOUR STYLES WITH IT! I'm not sure how you do it, but you make an average program turn into one on the 'honor roll'! if you know what I mean. (I don't mean to say that all of PG's stuff is bad. They do hit a good style here & there.(jazz styles etc...)... but any musician that's honest would have to say that a lot of it is 'square'). Your styles give it a more realistic, 'live' feel.... thus the name of the program should then be changed to A-REAL-BAND-OUT-OF-THE-BOX'---- Maybe you should advertise.... 'Is it LIVE...or is it NORTON? Guess that's already taken...Just a thought.' ~ Keith Burrows - Trumpet Sound Music Productions - Terre Haute, IN

Not so very long time from now I will buy the rest of them, because I think they work perfectly as a back up for my artists. They sound right.' Best regards from Bjørn 'Worse' Pedersen
