I'll just listen to his smile smile. Is it just us old folks that love these old gems or are we the only ones with any taste these days smile smile smile. I'm kidding, of course. Most of the other genre's have the same kind of rich history; we just happen to like and be influenced by this one.

Things I'd like to hear from some members here:

Donny - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)
Steve - Short piano medley (of his choosing)
Randy - My Funny Valentine (Sax)
DonM - Georgia or Rainy night in Georgia or Always on my mind (or all three smile )
Russ - Midnight Sun (preferably on vibes but I'm open)
Tony - Any good Jazz standard with a good backbeat (@ 120bpm) (vocal)

There will be no monetary reward for honoring any of these requests smile.

Chas, I’d be happy to but for the next few months we are in Florida where I don’t have a piano in the house to record with just the SX900. Even though I’m playing a weekly piano gig in the lobby of the cancer center, in my opinion the FP3 they have for use there would not be a piano I want to record anything on.
