Thanks, Monica. I had to improvise that bit because I started the verse on the wrong beat.

Thank you *all*. I have loved listening to each and every piece. There was joy to be had in all of them. My grumpy "I'm so sick of getting ready for this holiday" mood is totally gone. It was such pure pleasure to hear them.

M&H, that's great I didn't know that song.

Mahlzeit, nice "tannenbaum", I like the improv.

Text, for 11 months that is a really good start.

Text ..... only 11 months .... wow.
Hope to hear it again next year.

Thats from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" story...thanks

For everybody at PWF, my first recording on internet.

Merry Christmas!

merry X-mas

Best regards,

Johan B

Very pretty, Johan! I really liked that arrangement, too. Where did you find it?

And congratulations on posting your first recording! Does that mean we can look forward to a recital piece from you in February?

mahlzeit, that is a truly unique version. I like it!

text, White Christmas was the first Christmas song I played. I think I was 6 years old. I still have the (very simplified) sheet music. I wish I could play "by ear" like you are doing here. Very nice and dream like interpretation. How appropriate for the piece?

Johan, very nice job. That is an interesting arrangement of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I've always enjoyed that song.

Hi everyone -

Here's one of my favorites .... O Holy Night. Hope you enjoy.

Very lovely rendition.

Merry Christmas!

Very nice, Balladeer. I enjoyed listening. Merry Christmas.

Hi Monica

Thanks for your kind feedback. Hopefully I will continue to contribute to the ABF recitals.

I had organ lessons when I was a kid for a while but I hadn't touched a keyboard for over 25 years before I joined Pianomagic, which was when I bought my first piano.

cheers

Balladeer, you always play the loveliest pieces. Beautiful rendition of "O Holy Night."

Hi Folks -

I hope you were all as blessed this Christmas as I was - and here's hoping for a terrific '08 for everyone!

Monica .. Musictuary, & TX-Dennis thanks for listening and for the kind comments. You all are an inspiration to me.

Text, a lovely rendition, I remember we talked about einaudi last time you were here, have you tried any of his pieces yet?

Well played, Monica, has she got chops or has she got chops! Lovely.

Johan, congratulations! I enjoyed that arrangement immensely. Well played!

Your latest is sublime, Tim. I think I've said it before but your improv reminds me of Saint Saens or one of the other French romantic composers, very delicate, very tasteful and refined.
