Playing around with my SEVEN (DX7 preset) and trying to see if I could make strings and organ work without stepping on each other. Tune is an old favorite of mine, New York State of Mind (in case John C doesn't recognize it smile smile ) and just standard chords (even a Ketron could do it smile smile smile ). I like funky jazz organ, funky rock, funky R&B...the keyword for me is FUNKY. I tend to play lead lines like I would sing it IF I COULD SING smile . I liked the sound of the SEVEN'S DX7 so I thought I'd post it (despite a couple of bloopers - if you can't spot them, ask Diki, I'm sure he can point them out for you smile smile ). JUST KIDDING Diki, I'd be disappointed if you didn't smile. Anyhoo---

Thanks Bill. I play most of my organ stuff on my KeyB which is in my 'rehearsal' room. In my 'studio' I have a Legend Exp midied to a Nord C1 (PERFECT controller for this module). It's not as 'good' as my KeyB (KeyB is 'ballsier', more playable, has pedals, etc.) but good enough for subtle organ background parts. Older, lazier, more arthritic; I record the KeyB only when it's an organ-oriented piece these days. Recent blood tests showed elevated 'Rheumatoids' and it's starting to show in my hands, specifically the middle finger of my right hand (as a Philly sports fan, that's especially terrible smile ).

Now THAT’S funny!

Mind you, with the Eagles at 6-0, doesn’t look like you need that digit this year!

Bernie, don't you dare make fun of my disability. We're all entitled to at least 2 or 3 'senior moments' per tune smile smile smile. Actually, that's a good sign the tune is too long smile smile smile. BTW, haven't seen any new videos from you lately. Get back to work smile.
