Hi Roger,
What a treat. Julie’s beautiful interpretation of the Carpenter classics and your delightful backing are the nicest sounds that have hid my ears in many years.
Thank you,
Frank

Roger,

Great performance. Young lady has a wonderful voice.

Make sure she accompanies you to the Florida Keyboard Conference in March .
You two would be a tough act to follow.

Roger.
I was thrilled by the sound you and Julie your partner have created.
This is the best impression of Richard and Karen I have heard. If you release a cd!!!!
I am your first customer.
Fab Fab Fab.

Thanks ladies and gents for all your wonderful comments.
Julie and I play/sing live at various bookings around our part of the world. Apart from Jambalaya which Bill N. has kindly offered to make into a style file for me I've managed to collect all the other style files over the years from a variety of sources including Yamaha conversions. Recording was done in a pro studio. See more details including your compliments on our web site www.karencarpentertribute.co.uk
Tony - the keyboard is my trusty KN7000 which of course handles styles; midifiles and audio files so cleverly...it's truly a wonderful multi-use instrument.
