Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43707	Would love to hear Don Mason's version of this beautiful Elvis song.. and/or any other SZ'ers treatment of it also .. Just make believe someone walks up to the stage and requests it & throws a $20.00 in your tip jar!! Edited by Dnj (05/10/18 04:49 AM)

Great song, can't believe I missed it. Can't wait to hear your version Don looking forward to it I'm a patient man. I know you will kill it for sure, ... meanwhile I will start to look for an appropriate style &/or backings for it too. I hope a few others will join in with their versions also.

It's amazing what modern technology can do when mastered by skilled people.

Hoping for Gary, & Tony M, Fran, Col, etc, and others to give it a shot & join in also...song seems easy enough. Just make believe you had to learn it for someones Anniversary affair, etc,.. any way you like using styles or SMF, etc... Edited by Dnj (05/09/18 09:31 AM)

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15593 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Not for me, Donny. This is a great song for a power singer, which I am absolutely not. However, it only took me about two minutes to find an appropriate style for this song in my PSR-S950. The Southern Gospel style with a tempo of 81 nails this song perfectly for Yamaha users that wish to perform it. Good luck, Gary _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

Good luck, Gary Kool Gary would love top hear a demo of that yammy style...I vaguely remember it on my S970....Roland doesn't have much in that genre but I am still looking.
