Hey Colin,

Here's a slow ballad for you. It's a bare bones version of one of the Bee Gees greatest hits. I just play the PSR S750's piano and sing.

God Bless,

Thanks Donny,

Always been a favourite of mine, I often do this and "Words" segueing from one to the other. Makes an effective presentation. Just discovered my music store doesn't stock the Tascam hand held recorders. I was hoping to rent one. My young friend Ben rented the Zoom H4N at the store. I noticed in browsing the Long and McQuade site that there is a remote for the Zoom H4N. If Tascam has a remote that could hopefully make things easier for you.

God Bless,
Don

Hi Don

That was cracking delivery, I'm not to familiar with the song and it would be difficult indeed to follow that but I'll give it a try
in the next couple of days.

Once again really nicely done, much feeling.

Lots of feeling. For me, that's the MOST important component of any performance. Nice to hear someone do something with just piano backing; works well in this performance. Nicely done.

Thanks Colin,

I'm no piano player but my simple accompaniment seemed to work for this song.

God Bless,
Don

Sorry Donny, I meant my six fingered chording style on the piano. It was just the Concert Piano and me. Being a guitar player first it always amazed me how the full two-handed chords sounded with the 12 string guitar sound on my first synth, a Korg O/1W. I eventually started using this as my main accompaniment as the Korg had no styles. That song is probably the first public presentation of my raw keyboarding skills. Interestingly I learned to play the keyboard through my knowledge of guitar chords in the various keys.

God Bless,
Don

Hi Don

Highly enjoyable rendition of this famous Beegees song. Kind of surprised that Col should not be familiar with it.
I recorded it myself in 2003 using the Korg PA80 and, believe it or not, the old Roland E70 for the righthand acoustic piano.

Go for it Col !!!!
