Has anyone attempted any songs from them? If so, what have been your experiences? I'm currently working my way through Yesterday Once More, one of my favs.

I've had some success with 'Close to You' which you can see on youTube - check out Shaun Cheeks EasyPiano Lessons.

I like playing "It's gonna take some time this time" - easy to figure out and fun to play. Oh, and of course, "Merry Christmas, Darling". Good stuff! Elaine

I've about gone through all of their best songs all along. I recorded some of them a few years ago and tried to get a female vocalist to work them up. That fell through so I went back to the solo piano format. I played them from sheets and at an intermediate level. Every now and again I may play I Need to Be in Love when in the mood and also Masquerade complete.

I'm working out Yesterday Once More. Some of the books have these bland, choppy arrangementsw so I've taking stuff here and there. It's been okay. I'll like to try Goodbye To Love next.
