Awesome! He should get a doubling fee if he starts using the right hand again!
I’ve been having fun performing Billy Joel tunes with the right hand part on my left. My Life is quite fun, and as the left hand basically just doubles the base part, I can get away with it fairly well. Still rock ‘n’ roll to me is another one that translates fairly well to one handed, mind you, Billy doesn’t play a whole lot on that one anyway, just some Wurlitzer.
I’ve been putting my trio into my solo gigs (I give them my fee, and just take home the tips!) so I have been able to lean on my sax player for a lot of the solos. But I will take the odd one from time to time. My biggest problem is having to adjust the octave ranges of all my sounds so that the right hand sounds can be played lower. usually two octaves up gets the job done!
Next chance I get, I will do a bit of recording and see if anything is worth posting…❤️🎹🤩
