Hi folks,
I found it necessary to start up a new YouTube channel for my senior music pursuits. I still have my (mostly) Latin music channel and now a channel that will feature mostly live performances at senior venues. You can find the new channel by searching "paulblood music" If you feel so inclined, please subscribe. I feel a little lonely now with just two subscribers- my wife and my mom LOL
Here's my rendition of "The Way You Look Tonight" I'm playing my Ketron Audya, and my brother in-law lent me his saxophone talents. I probably should have shorten the arrangement by 2 minuets or so, but we got carried away. Enjoy!

Hey thanks Stephen. I’d like to know that you’ve inspired me to work more on my solo piano playing. You push me along in the right direction with some of those book recommendations. Also I’d love to hear your rendition of this tune as well.

My favorite word when I like something. Your recording has a TOUCH OF CLASS. It is gentle.
Nice, John C.
Hi John, Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could’ve taken credit for coming up with the idea of playing this in Latin style, but as Tony said , Michael Bublé beat me to it. I think I do played a little faster than him though, The style I used combines a Brazilian Bosss Nova with a Cuban conga tumbao. Maybe that would unsettle a purist, I love messing around with different styles....

Paul ... there's an old saying "Be careful what you wish for" ...
Here are TWO versions I found on my Pa900 USB ... There are some mistakes, so they were probably recorded while I was practicing ... The sax is the Soft Latin Sax on the Pa900

Thanks for posting those Tony. I picked on some nice ideas from you that I will try to incorporate. I really like hearing different renditions, so if anybody wants to add there's, be my guest
