 Kawaiigirl:[/b] Weren't you the one that posted a few days ago that you needed help with a couple of the bars in the song Vigil? :p It didn't sound to me like you needed any help at all! You did SENSATIONAL! I am proud of you and you did that in 2 days!  What can you do in 5 days??! 
- yamaha[/b] great job on that rag! Is that Scott Joplin? Those rags are awfully hard to play too!
- Psychpianoman[/b] I am impressed! How long did it take you to compose that? You may find me also in line one day waiting to buy your music! So relaxing too! I almost fell asleep with my head on my laptop just listening to you beautiful touch. Just what I need before I close for the night!

I hope I can get my other one done soon as well. I have fun playing it but it is only about 1 min. long right now. It needs more.
Thanks for all the great words everyone.

It was one of those sections that just drove me crazy until Psycho suggested the fingering and then everything just clicked

Mike: They're not that hard to play, but difficult to make a recording without mistakes, as you are well aware from listening.
I can imagine that is waay difficult to record without a few bloopers , I think I only noticed one spot but on the whole it was some incredible playing. To be honest not my favourite style of piano music...but, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you play as always Lee: I'm dreaming of a Mike White Christmas

Lee - my lovely bride wanders by my office every once in a while. I am trying to get ready for the recital, so she offers her support to me this morning by saying "perhaps you should learn another song, it might be easier than the same one over and over. How come you only play that one song?"....I'm thinking headsets might be a good thing....

After hearing Shirokuro play this piece, I had to learn it for myself. It really is a pretty piece to play - River Flows In You by Yiruma. BTW The last few measures are not quite as written, not quite improv though, just a main theme an octave higher! http://www.box.net/public/mnflj76bko

Since the Bar is open to recordings of pieces which aren't finished yet, I tried a couple of them which I'm currently working on. Plenty of mistakes! http://www.box.net/public/4c09t0pxn8 - Mother's Journey by Yann Tiersen (a bit slower) http://www.box.net/public/uf34257a41 - Le Onde, by Ludovico Einaudi (incomplete). (please don't kill me for posting it, Monica!) It feels wrong to listen to my attempts compared with the fantastic original recording, but hey, this the Piano Bar and it's an open session! Anything goes.

Stevenc - almost forgot ya.... very nice job - with all the great music here in the bar, I am getting very worried about my recital submission...if this is "not worthy", boy.......you guys amaze me - I know how hard this "banging the keys" is, and you and Euan make it sound so easy.....
Would you guys be willing to quit playing for a few years to let me catch up??? OK OK, a few decades, then????

Kawaigirl - that was stunning! I know you haven't been working on this one long, so I have to ask - how many MINUTES did it take to get the piece sounding like that?! Didn't hear a single mistake anywhere, it flowed brilliantly and sounded great! Definately have to add that one to the 'sheet music stacked beside the piano' collection! Well done Euan.

That was beautiful, kawaigirl. I agree with Euan; I didn't hear any mistakes. And whatever secret mic setup recipe you have used to make your recordings, keep it up... the sound quality was awesome. The intro part was reminiscent of "Overcome." Too much great music to learn... too little time. psychopianoman, only you know what your budget and spending comfort zone is. But there is some ineffable quality to acoustics you just don't get with a digital, although digitals have their own advantages over acoustics. Having both would be ideal, I think, and I would hazard a guess that anybody who is "affiliated with music through my hands, ears, mind, and dreams" probably has an acoustic somewhere in his future...
