I know, I know, I know.
Gary you are always told you sound like Dean Martin. wink
However. Yesterday I listened to an old tune and swear to God it sounded like Gary was singing it ...

The style for that song is actually on all later Yamaha KB's.
Michel V. covered it on the Tyros ...

Who knows. Maybe you'll give it a try Gary....?



Enjoy
Eric

But both share a love of fine uhhh, beverages smile. In fact, Dean Martin once remarked that he knew he had cut himself shaving 'cause his eyes cleared up. Makes no sense but the visual image is hilarious smile.

Eric, you are not the first person to tell me I sound like Roger Whitaker. The very first person was my loving wife, followed by lots of ladies when I performed that song. The last time I performed it, I used my trusty S-950 and used the onboard recorder to capture the song. Here's my rendition of The Last Farewell. I recorded this about 3 years ago during a live performance, using an onboard style.

Thanks Eric, and others, for reviving those fond memories,

Gary cool

Thanks, Eric... for sharing. Whitaker was a first class act in my books. I agree that Gary has that quality in his vocals. I also agree... Dean and Gary are not vocal twins... LOL! I'm not sure about Whitaker... bet he would enjoy his brother Gary's company! Like the rest of us do!

Thanks Dave. Ironically, at my age he was still working a hectic schedule and drawing huge crowds in the UK. He just recently retired, as did I. smile

All the best,

Gary cool
