This particular song was a real challenge for me, especially having just 12 percent of my lung capacity remaining. I first had to create a style file, something I have not done for years. Next, I created a midi file from the style file, which allowed me edit the playing portion. This allowed me to concentrate on the lyrics and phrasing, which was also very difficult. Click here to hear my rendition of Sailing The Original was performed by Christopher Cross in 1980. Gary

Graham, I used a basic, 8-beat ballad style that I got online from Eileen several years ago, then went about a series of edits using the onboard Style Creator program and inserting the guitar segment on channel 4, which took several tries to play it correctly. I then played the song, recorded it as a midi file on my PSR-S950 and added the instrumental segment, which again took several tries to get it right. (Gloria - I wish were talented enough to do that guitar work in one shot. HA!) Once I had the mid file, I was able to perform and record the song using the keyboard's onboard USB recorder, which provided me with a .wav file of the song with the vocals. I then ran it through Audacity, adjusted the volume level to -.06 to normalize it, then converted it to an MP3 file so I could post it. As you can see, it was a long, drawn-out process. I wish to thank everyone who took the time to listen and comment on my submission. I especially would like to thank Jim (Zuki) for suggesting this song, one that I performed a few times many years ago using an old 8-beat ballad style from my PSR-3000. That style did fit very well, but I managed to get away with it back then. All the best, Gary

Thanks guys, for the compliments. I sure wish I were a bit younger when I took up sailing, but I got a lot of great experiences that I will cherish the remainder of my life. All the best, Gary
