Video of Rhapsody in Blue

A little analog for Synthzone. I recently got to perform Rhapsody In Blue in concert. 40 years in the making. Next concert when I'm 92.

And a piece of mine called Rhapsody Blues, that was motivated by my prep for the concert.

Wow Robert, that's something of which you can be proud of forever! Outstanding my friend.
You are the real deal!

nice job on a classic song enjoyed it!!...brought back memories of my orchestra days in High School playing sax & percussion
Thanx for sharing.

Really good! Do you use an arranger regularly? Do you gig with one?

Beautifully performed, Robert ...

Brings back memories for me too, but not necessarily good ones ... Many years ago I accompanied my accordion instructor to Canada to judge an accordion competition ... after hearing about 20 accordion orchestras play "Rhapsody in Blue" I could not listen to it for a long time ...
I enjoyed your "Rhapsody Blues" very much also ...

Outstanding!

Gary

Yes you are the real deal! Excellent, that is one difficult piece to learn and play.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words.

Russ: I used to have a Tyros 2. Sold it and got a Roland FP-80 piano as I am doing mostly straight jazz and classical gigs. Maybe will get an arranger again some day. It was a great tool to have.
