A month ago I completed yet another CD within the confines of my livingroom with the sole use of the KOrg PA-50 (+Boss recorder). Though I managed to send several of you some mp3 samples I have now found a site to store them and from which you may download them at your convenience.
to do so proceed as follows:
1. click on the LINK to each song, as mentioned below.
2. scroll down to bottom of the page and click on : FREE
3. scroll down again to bottom of page and wait 20 to 30 seconds (see time running) until the DOWNLOAD command appears.
You can now download and then listen to the song.
here are the LINKS:

thank you guys.
Donny, the song Always is originally from the Californian band VENICE, not too many people are familiar with this band. Seems to me they are only well-known in the LA area and in Holland, where they almost have stardom status !!!! Their very latest album is truely terrific and ihmo beats a cult album like "Deja Vu" by Crosby ,Stills and Nash. check it out , It is called
"Standard Pacific Time"..........

regards,
john

Very nice songs and mix john, as always. Very nice spatial placement of instruments.
You make the Pa sound "different". I like too the effects on the instruments, good use of reverb and echos.
Have you tweaked the styles a lot?

John,
very good renditions of some old classics, like "Eve of destruction" and "If I were a carpenter". I like your voice a lot and the quality of the recordings is also outstanding.

thank you.
There is no accounting for tastes and naturally I am very pleased with folks liking my stuff, but even more I want to make it clear how truly outstanding and professional this keyboard is, in my opinion,and even more so considering its price tag.

As to your question STAM, no I did not tweak the styles all that much but I did a hell of a lot of tweaking on the Performances, so indirectly also the styles.
Most of these Performances I made freely available through the Irish Acts site, but since their recent problems they have (temporarily ??) disappeared. However you can have them if you like, it is a 4MB dump,but I guess you have already got them.
(they were uploaded on Irishacts in February of this year).
regards,
john

John nice job on Maggie May....but IMO I would of used some Accordian & Fiddle to give it that British Isle feel and a bit more Rotory B3 organ towards the end. Otherwise great quality recording..

Thanx

Hi John, enjoyed listening to your songs though I find the 'rapidshare' website host download method painfully awkward & slow (at least from here on the (US) West Coast). Your distinctively unusual sounding voice add a new prespective to these song classics. I do notice some kind of unusual swireling vocal(lizer?)efx on your vocals which makes it sound like your vocals are moving back & forth between left & right channels. Was that intentional? Nice work showcasing the classic Korg sounds of your PA-50 as well. I look forward to returning to download & listen to the rest of your song collection now. John. Thanks aqgain for sharing your latest songs with us. - Scott
