I know there are a lot of Italian people in this list so I am sharing this for you.
IT came in one of my email lists from Ted
Rose yesterday. Here is a great chance for you to learn to sing in Italian

Bebop with a birthday tomorrow will be that big dreaded age 80
but still here

Bebop, thank you; you always seem to be there –forever – I remember when.

I beat you 9/11/31 to 80. The good part is we made it. I heard said; when you grow older you have all kinds of wisdom and no one to tell it to. Are you still enjoying your keyboards? Which was your favorite?
Enjoy your birthday my friend you have earned it.

Stay well, John C

thank you John, I guess we are the old farts now on this forum.
I still play a little every day but some days a lot. I guess it depends on mood and what I get started on. Nice thing about arrangers, You can jam all day and all night on your own time and your own terms.
I don't know about favorite keyboard. I have had so many since the early 70's. I think they were all favorites until the next one came along.
I am currently still playing the Yam tyros 2, the Roland E 80, and the Technics KN2400. the rest of them are in cases and put in storage. Everyonce in awhile I will uncase one and play it for awhile and then wonder why did I ever buy that one. Best to all frinds on this forum. OLD BEBOP

Hi Bebop,

First of all congratulations on your 80th birthday. I hope both you and Bruno will continue to have pleasure in music and tickle the ivories for many more years to come.

Big thanks for the link to the Italian site. Many many moons ago I was courting an Italian signorina and as such a lot of the sixties an seventies song are familiar to me. Thanks.

Bill,


Nice, find, that could come in handy.

Bill at the age of five I spoke only the Italian language; I havelost just about all of it.

My clubhouse is offering a class on conversational Italian so I will be bringing your find to the class. You never know who you can help; who you can add to. You’ve been in the helping business for a long time, thanks again.

John C.

BeBop ... Happy Birthday friend ... 80 is just another number

thankyou Guys.
Glad to still be able to help out once in awhile. Life is good:)
Just sign me OLD Bill now instead of Bebop

I am a firm believer that OLD is a state of mind ... therefore, I will NOT refer to you as OLD Bill

It is ok Tony.
I have gone from Wild Bill, To just Plain Bill and now to Old Bill. Next is ................... naw lets just forget about that for now
