E80 Rock & Roll medley

E80 medley of rock & roll oldies 50`s/60`s.

Lots of good energy there, Terry. I would make a few suggestions although they're purely subjective.

1. Make a clear transition from one song to the next. Next song in the series should be in the same 'vein' but not the same style.

2. Use modulation in the transition so next song can be in a different key. Maybe 1 or 2 beats of silence if next song is a different tempo.

These are not rules, just suggestions (and subjective at best). Keep churning them out. Experiment, but most of all, have fun.

As true as it is said.
To have fun and enjoy the music is the keyword. 👍

Thanks for the feedback Chas,I take on board your comments.I had to record this at very short notice to perform at an Alzheimer`s
memory cafe.Myself and three friends go to several of these cafe`s and sing for half an hour,and this is one of the medleys,
which meant learning and remembering a lot of words,so we kept the music simple.The programme is on a USB stick.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I understand that hearing familiar music is both enjoyable and therapeutic for Alzheimer's sufferers. That's a great cause. Keep up the good work.

I used to perform regularly at 4 Alzheimer's Centers near home. One of things I quickly discovered is that music is the last thing to go with this dreaded disease. I also discovered that the patients knew nearly every word of those songs that I played to them, and the loved the upbeat. Ballads and slow rock were a NO-NO, and would lull them to sleep in a matter of seconds. Some patients still had the physical ability to dance and quite often danced with the staffers at the facilities. Most importantly, you had to be a singer, and not just a musician. The vocals made a huge difference.

Glad to see you're out working, Terry,
