That one is beautiful in almost any style, Boo, and is also one of my favorites.

Another one that brings back a lot of sentiments, is playing When You Wish Upon a Star...first movie I saw, and I remember going with my Mum and her having apples and cookies and other goodies in her pockets, as eating at the canteen was too expensive...still is

I love the chord changes in tunes from that era.

Here it is played "live" on my PSR-S910 during a a gig...recorded to Wav in the keyboard, and then converted to MP3 (192 Kbps)

Ian I wasn't surprised coming from YOU that this would be such a beautiful ballad played on the Yamaha S910...who needs 76 keys, live drums, etc,? ....it's the player that makes it happen....& you my friend have proved that with this wonderful rendition...BRAVO!!

Thanks very much, my friend.

I sometimes play this on the P-85 with piano and strings layered, but I prefer it on the arranger.

I've been playing it for some time, and it is a tune I get a lot of requests for...initially it was hardly known at all where I played, and now it's become a sort of signature tune for me.

A simple yet very effective melody.

Ian
