Keyboard is at the job, so probably can't do it til the weekend. I do a lot of Elvis songs, but never have done this one. Great song, can't believe I missed it.

Can't wait to hear your version Don looking forward to it I'm a patient man. I know you will kill it for sure, ... meanwhile I will start to look for an appropriate style &/or backings for it too. I hope a few others will join in with their versions also.

It's amazing what modern technology can do when mastered by skilled people.

Zuki....give it a try, I know you will do it justice on the pa4x.
Hoping for Gary, & Tony M, Fran, Col, etc, and others to give it a shot & join in also...song seems easy enough. Just make believe you had to learn it for someones Anniversary affair, etc,..
any way you like using styles or SMF, etc...

Not for me, Donny. This is a great song for a power singer, which I am absolutely not. However, it only took me about two minutes to find an appropriate style for this song in my PSR-S950. The Southern Gospel style with a tempo of 81 nails this song perfectly for Yamaha users that wish to perform it.

Good luck,

Gary cool

Different strokes, for sure.

Don't like this song at ALL. Would never play it.

I agree, I didn't care for it either. I thought I was the only one.

Chris Conner needs to get a life.

As the song says he's "Just Pretending"

Re: Don Mason (& Anyone else) Elvis song - 05/11/18 11:28 AM

Just wondering - has there ever been any artist who has had as many 'impersonators' as Elvis ? ... and they come in all sizes, shapes, and forms ... there is a Japanese fellow here in RI who books himself as "The Asian Elvis" ...

EDIT: WHOA, Jerry ... I didn't see your post until I posted mine ... just proof of my statement ...

Re: Don Mason (& Anyone else) Elvis song - 05/11/18 11:43 AM

Yea, then Bruno grew up and learned how to sing and play.

As far as crowds go, the problem for serious musicians has always been as the music gets more sophisticated, the audience gets smaller.

Excuse the outburst, but this one hits pretty close to where I
live and work.

Sorry,


Russ

P.S. Google How Do You Keep The Music Playing to see what I'm talking about. I'd compare my net worth and annual income from music and related media projects to the income of any Elvis impersonator (UCK) alive.

No, it isn't going ANYWHERE! I've "left the building". The "meek" won't be the ones inheriting the earth. It will be the rednecks, dammit.

Be well, all,
