Many felt called upon to cover this song and as such you will find many versions here on youtube. Most of them tried to stay close to the original arrangement. Personally I threw caution to the wind and opted for an entirely different arrangement. The mastering as well as the matching video were performed by my good friend Carlo for which I am greatly indebted to him. Looking forward to your comments.The original version by the maestro himself can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWe4e... Good Job John...Ketron SD9 & your Vocal it outstanding! btw didn't I give you a lesson on posting YT video on SZ? Edited by Dnj (05/31/20 09:42 AM)

john smies Senior Member Registered: 05/05/00 Posts: 1384 Loc: koudekerke, Holland.	thanks for the thumbs up guys. Now that even Don has once again succumbed to the charms of the Ketron SD7 it is bound to make more headway in the U.S. of A. , me thinks. With Dave shortly in possesion of the SD60, Deane a stauch believer and user of the Ketron SD40 and Donny once again on the fence it seems to me that the merits of the Ketron range are beginning to throw their wait about , in spite of the poor support of Ketron Italy.But then you guys can lean on AJ and Kurt !!! Incidentally I had been hoping to hear from you guys how you looked upon the difference in my arrangement of this Roller Coaster song in comparison to the original, any takers there? regards John

saxxman Senior Member Registered: 10/15/05 Posts: 1433 Loc: Niceville, FL USA	Great job John! Very nice work! Here is one version of Danny Vera performing the song (link above didn't appear to work): My verdict - Danny V did good but I like the John Smies version better!! You did a great job on the audio, singing and playing, and your version has a more lively feel to it - more like a "Roller Coaster" to me. Thanks for posting and super job John! _________________________ ------------------------------------- Randy PA4X, SX900 (Baby Genos), Roland U-20, L1 Compact, Way 2 Many Saxes "My computer beats me routinely at chess - but it's NO MATCH for me at kick boxing!"

Randy, thanks for pointing out that the link (on youtube) to the song by the orginal artist was faulty, I have remedied that . Thanks for the comparison, you are giving me too much credit really but thanks all the same !!!! regards John original version by Danny Vera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWe4e0_UmIc
