Thank you Chas for your uplifting words and I am sure Donny meant well. He has a point in fact about the left hand but then again practice makes perfect and initially I found one is inclined to play too many notes with the left hand ( missing the arranger) whereas often here goes the saying Less is More.

And as you pointed out yourself the challenge at my age is fairly respectable hence that I defintely will hang on to my keyboard skills. This morning I was practising two of the three songs mentioned in the links in my previous post with a lady singer and me on the piano and it gave me great joy and fullfilment.

In time I will record this stuff and hopefully include it on a CD, which as you know will be freely available to anyone interested. (As is my current piano CD of which I posted a download link previously but if anyone gets curious I will upload it again..)

Although a cold day the sun was shining today, today being the King's birthday here in Holland and a festive day. I just finished a small solo performance in the garden on the acoustic guitar which goes to show how variety is and remains the spice of life !!!!

regards
John
