Hi best forumfriends,
I am succeeded to have my friend Karel Wessling trapped in to play on my KN7000 (That was not so difficult, he enjoyed to play on this magnificent instrument ) He was allowed to do that on condition that we recorded some songs for the KERS-page .So, we did. The results are on the KERS-site.
For good understanding, he mostly plays in pianist mode (on his KN6000), as he is in principle a pianist. Karel says he sometimes is jealous on my knowledge on the technique, as my answer is that I am more jealous on his playingskills. Listen yourself. So I mostly help him with the 'buttons' and the technique on the KN. The record was done as follows: Karel playes the keyboard and I pressed the buttons . So if you hear any mistakes, you can blame me for missing to push the right button in time
If you like his song (you will ) please send him your gratitude by mail, perhaps that will persuade him to make more songs for us...
With musical greetings,
Cees
P.S. Kers-site is still on: http://home.hccnet.nl/cees.els
P.S.2: if someone know the english songtitle of the first song (Toen was geluk nog heel gewoon) please let me know. I thought is was from Gilbert O'Sullivan?

Hi Cees
The title of the song is 'Alone Again Naturally'and you are correct with the artist Gilbert O'Sullivan.

I once backed a local entertainer singing this song - and it was only a couple of weeks after losing his wife. He struggled to finish the song because of his tears and his emotion. Most of the audience knew his wife had died, and there was hardly a dry eye in the place.

John

Thanks John for the title and the touching example. That's why I like music (instrumental or/and vocal); it can be so full of emotions.
Cees.

Hi Cees and Karel
I have had a great time playing along.Between your engineering and Karel's playing,you produced a fine set of songs. I particularly liked "Bertus".

Hope we see more and thanks to you both
Bernie

Hi there

I downloaded this music today and have had a most enjoyable time playing along with it.

The standard of playing is superb and the registrations are ones that I will make use of.

Having listened to this collective talent I am seriously thinking of going back to my comb and paper!

Joan
