I wish to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the members who requested a copy of my Sequences. The response was truly overwhelming and the kind comments from all of you are really appreciated.
I regard it as a privilege to be able to allow others to listen to my work, through the facility of this great forum.
Due to the encouragement which I have received from many of you, I hope to do a 'Songs 4 U Vol.2' in the near future.
Thank you all once again - you have made February 2002 a very special month for me

Bill, MANY thanks for taking the time to convert your songs to MP3 format so we can ALL hear them.

I definitely can tell you come from a background as a drummer as evidenced by your great sense of timing & rythmic feel. I particularly enjoyed your solos. Very nice melodic variations. 'Nightingale in Berkeley Square' is a favorite of mine especially because I live in the 'town' of Berkeley (abeit California, USA) . Very nice rendition.

I only have one constructive comment to make: I noticed that the 'melodic phrasing' in your horn/wind instrument solo parts did not take into account what a live horn player needs to do: Breathe!

Though I enjoyed your instrumental solos a lot, many of the phrases seemed to go on into the next one etc etc. Without wanting to appear critical, I might suggest (to better emulate how a wind instrument player would need the time to take a breath between phrases), that you end a phrase, taking your hands off the keyboard and/or foot off the damper pedal before beginning the next phrase.

Bill, your music is perfect for that intimate romantic 'after hours' evening. BRAVO. Hope to hear more from you.

- Scott

Bill,

Just got your songs over the weekend. Thanks for the fast response. The songs were very listenable and well done. Thanks so much. I like them so much that I shared a copy with the owner of the store where I purchased my 6500. Looking forward to also attending a concert at the store this Wed. by Dom Chichetti, a Technics kbd. pro. He will be playing the 6500 and PR1000. Should be awesome.
Tim

Tim: Dom is an excellent Technics keyboard artist. I saw him perform at NAMM (along with Chris Halon) last year.I know you'll really enjoy his performance. Perhaps you can get him to spill a few beans about the upcoming KN7000, though I'm sure he's swore to secrecy and will probably have to remain tight lipped. - Scott

Scott,

I think Bill has discovered the art of breathing in thru his nose while blowing that horn !!!

Hey Guys - I play by ear so that's what I breath through !
Seriously though, Scott has a very good point and it is one which I have advocated in the past - 'If you are playing Sax - Think Sax!' I just got carried away and forgot about it! (Must try Harder!!)
Thanks for your comments Scott - really appreciated.

Bye for now.....
