Nobody here yet?  I planned to submit this piece to the recital but changed my mind and submit another one. So here it is for the monthly bar. Cheer Story Of A Young GirlTB

TB - there's nothing like a good "Story", and this is one - yet another lovely piece in a growing list of such works from the pen of TB  Looking forward to hearing your Recital piece also. JF Really like your avatar. Still trying to figure out what you're a true beginner at though.

TrueBeginner- Very nicely played. I love the melody. Very dreamlike. What is the piece?

Oh, I forgot to specify that it is self-composition.
Thanks JF and Peyton for your encouragement.

TB - I'm with Studio Joe on this one - perfect coffee drinking music. I had 2 cups and listened to it twice. Very nice.

My November Piano Bar submission is a cover of a song that has been done by lots of artists, most notably Peggy Lee and Elvis. I couldn't resist using the Jazz Scat voice in the piano break at around the 2 minute mark. Fever

Great job Bill!! I always liked that song and you do such a fantastic version of it.
You just keep getting better and better.

Hi All, I’ve enjoyed the submissions here so far! I’m thinking I might be wearing out my welcome here with all the Rock-N-Roll, so here is something different. This is an improvision that I’ve been working on. Sometimes I just like to noodle around on the piano and imagine that I can really play it! My Tokai grand piano sounded really good in this recording. I put the microphone over in piano and the amplification brought out the best in her! I hope you enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cioP4J50IUYTake care, Rick

Sounds great Rickster! Really it sounds wonderful, both your improv and the piano. In many ways it's my favorite of yours so far.
I don't think you've worn out your welcome with Rock'n'roll -- everyone's got to mix up fast and slow styles, even for one's own benefit.

A little Jazz for the November bar... Improvisation of "All the Things You Are". This is a two handed soloing style which is very difficult so I don't have quite mastered at this fast tempo... http://www.box.net/shared/sctchthkch

Bill - You're not quite as alluring as Peggy Lee but I really liked your take on "Fever" anyway Just in time for the Flu season too! JF

Rick, that was quite different for you. I like it.
Jazzwee- what a fun piece! Did you work from sheet music at all?

TB Another inspiring piece! Somehow I don't think TrueBeginner suits you

Thanks Peyton! No that's completely improvised. It all came from my head except for the beginning partial melody. It will come out 100% different each time I do it. That's why it comes out raw. There's a natural imperfection since I'm composing on the fly.

well, this is one of the few songs I have recorded since I just started my account a few days ago, I have only one song so far on here, I've played it 3 times since I got it so its not that good yet, but thought I'd put it up here to see what people think:) http://www.box.net/shared/oi4o8jpbzaDueling Violins from Lord of the Dance,
