Nice catchy style and great VH with the 900. Thanks for sharing that rather longgg song

Zuki ... 3 minutes flat ... I have no idea why BOX shows it as 20+ ... When you listened, what happened after the 3 minute mark? ...

That's crazy. I kept hitting the fwd button because I thought it lasted that long....oh well, it was late! What style did you use?

Enjoyed that Tony..loved the v.h.

Tony very enjoyable ...loved the style and VH was just the right touch....thanx for sharing

Tony, this is not a put-down but we know you can do this stuff with your eyes closed; I want to hear you do some Tony Bennett and Mel Torme'. You know you want to .

chas

Thanks, guys ... much appreciated ...



Zuki ... I don't think I could perform a song for 20 minutes ... The style is called 'Matchbox' ... I added the the 'vocal' background in parts using the 'Male Scat" voice I'm thinking of adding that to one of the variations just for this song ... Harmony was CH 1 up and 2 up ...
I don't recall where I got the style - maybe one of the other KORG players could answer that - might even be something converted from another KB ? ... but it was no doubt created for the Carl Perkins song "MATCHBOX"

chas ... I take that as a compliment from you ...

Mel Torme' is one of my all time favorite singers ... and Tony Bennett of course is TONY BENNETT ...
Be careful what you ask for ...

Sounds good, Tony, and I really liked that style you used. The vocal harmony was crisp and clean.

When I looked at the box net recording, it was as if you didn't press the stop button and it just kept recording dead air until it ran out of memory.

All the best, Mr Presley,

Gary

Thanks, Gary ...
Actually, I pressed the'Stop Record' button right at the end and the screen changed showing that recording was over ... This has happened a couple of times in the past ... still don't know why ...
Thanks again

Love it T!! Great basic style...
When I do Matchbox I use the Rock n Clock style.

Thanks, Don ... much appreciated from you ...
Yes there are a few styles that work for these tunes, but I really like the Rock-A -Billy sound of this one ...

Me too. Can you send it to me?
Thanks!

Don, You got mail ... hopefully it works ... haven't done this in a while ...

Don ... if it works I expect to hear something from you using the style ...
thanks,
t.

I got it, thanks!
Here's a recording of Matchbox I did on the job one night when my friend Robin Vosbury sat in on guitar. https://app.box.com/s/ozzpjwe9ug6rrr2ljyy1g2gezrjzjror

I've said it before ... I would pay to hear you guys ...

Tony, time for you and Lydia to hop in the car and head for Bossier City. Sure would have loved to have seen a video of this performance, though.

Cheers,

Gary

Well done my brother you and Robin perfect together

Interestingly first time I heard the "would a matchbox hold my clothes" line was in David Bromberg's version of Statesboro Blues..

"Matchbox" is a rockabilly song recorded by Carl Perkins in December 1956. It shares some lyrics with 1920s blues songs by Ma Rainey and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Sam Phillips and Sun Records released the song as the B-side to "Your True Love". Although only the A-side became a record chart hit in 1957, "Matchbox" is one of Perkins' best-known recordings. A variety of musicians have recorded the song, including the Beatles."

I'm sure Don won't mind my posting this .... Paul McCartney live performance ... interesting vid ... song starts at about 1:42 ...

Love it! Besides, I'm the one who hijacked the thread.

Very nice Tony. Loved the style choice, and VH too. I would liked to hear you play a bit more..., maybe a piano, guitar or sax solo for a chorus or two. But either way, a very solid performance.

Thank you very much, Paul ...

Tony,

Sounds as good as it did last week when I heard you play it live while we were jamming.
