Considering how convenient it is to store individual songs (style, voices, etc) in individual reg, this makes arranger keyboard performance IDEA for grouping songs together and then performed as a part of a song medley.

I'd love to learn about different themed (artist, genre, era, topic oriented, etc) song medleys (including list of specific songs) other members perform. - Scott

Ok, I'll start. Here are just a few of the many different themed song medleys I do:

USA Places:
1) Chicago (that toddling' town)
2) Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans
3) Georgia On My Mind
4) Rocky Mountain High
5) Blue Hawaii
6) Viva Las Vegas
7) New York State Of Mind
8) New York New York

California Places:
1) California Here I Come
2) Hooray For Hollywood
3) Do You Know The Way To San Jose
4) California Dreamin'
5) San Francisco Wear Flowers In your Hair
6) San Francisco
7) I Left My Heart In San Francisco

Seasons - Fall:
1) Autumn Leaves
2) September In The Rain
3) Autumn in New York
4) September Song
5) Moondance

Id like to hear these performed.......& what styles atre being used instead of just listing a bunch of songs ...medleys are a tricky thing to seqway if done right ok...but if not Argggg especialy jumping to different styles, tempos etc etc ...!

Scott how about a small medley demo?


here in NJ we do a medley of Jersey songs which include:

On the way to Cape May
Jersey Bounce
Wildwood days
Palisades Park

I'm not much for doing medleys, but it would be interesting to hear BOTH Donny and Scott post examples.

I could also get to hear Donny play his new PA-800.

T'would be even nicer if no SMF were used, but rather just arranger accompaniment so I could study the way the styles were used.

Come on guys...pleeeeease!

I'm all ears.

Good question Don...

I also noticed some big differences in styles within the different medleys Scott laid out. I'd love to hear how he goes from Chicago to Do You Know what it means to miss New Orleans for example...

One thing worth mentioning. If a medley like this is being performed strictly in a concert setting, then the artist DOES have more latitude than if they're presenting this in a dance environment. They're not really burdened by having to maintain a consistant and danceable tempo. Wouldn't you agree, Don?

Please Scott, when you have some time throw one of these on website or something for us to hear...

Scott enjoy your medleys, please forget I even asked.

Did I miss something?

To make a medley I think that the first step is the choice of songs with the same (+ -)tempo.


Chico

Donny, it doesn't have to be that way.

Correctomundo, cassp...in fact, I think it would be cool.

I'd sure like to hear that PA-800 being put through it's paces.
