Thanks, CasinItaly and Augustina for your kind comments!

Augustina: Your Loch Lomond was a very bonny tune and arrangement.. great job with the chords!

Well, here's another pretty classical theme..hope you enjoy.

The Swan (Saint-Saens)

Starr Keys - what a great job you did with Too-Ra-loo-ra-loo-ra. Nice to listen to, and I can't help but think that even tho it's probably a PITA right now, playing with only your left hand is going to boost your other arranging skills by leaps and bounds down the road. Really good work.

I'm joining this thread at the tail end since I have not been able to get as much PW time as usual this month. I haven't had time to listen to everything yet but I like what I've seen so far.

Augustina - nice job of harmonizing the verses in Loch Lomond - I liked how on the second repeat you made the chords denser.

Elssa - I liked all of your submissions but especially the Jobim piece. It made me wish that I was on a tropical beach right now.

Captain Kawai - that took me back - I bought Sergeant Peppers when it first came out, nice rendition.

Starr Keys - great choice for St Patrick's day and well played.

Inlanding - I liked your bluesy cut - it sounded like a jazzy blues to me but whatever it was it was really good. I also liked the original piece.

Rickster - way to go with the boogie woogie piano. The piano would have been great on it's own but when you add the vocals that was over the top.

Teodor - nice sensitive playing on the piano piece.

Bill M - I can tell that you really felt the lyrics on the Billy Joel song and your piano playing supported the vocals really well.

Before this thread disappears for the month, let me just say thanks to all the nice words from everyone. Just got too busy so I haven't been able to check back in.`

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. Lots of great music this month!

KC~ Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite was great! I am always singing along with you as you play with all the Beatles tunes you bring to the mix.

Elssa~ So glad you brought Wave back to the Bar. I am a huge Jobim fan. Your version of Swan was very nice. I love it played on the cello.

Teodor~ Very cute lyrics. Next time, more voice and less keyboard. Nice going - keep on singing'!

Loch Lomond~ "Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road". I like this old, traditional Scottish song.

Thank you Jotur and Chris G!

Cathy, I am consoled and encouraged by the progress I seem to have made with my left hand. And the support and encouragement I received from you and others in this thread has helped give me the confidence I needed to think about doing more jazz stylings and improvisation and to post in the April Bar.

I recently joined the forum, recently started playing. I spent some time listening and watching the entries on this thread. Wow, there is a lot of talent on this forum.

Maybe next month after I practice more, I'll upload something.

Thanks to all for sharing your talents.

Augustina, I almost missed your Loch Lomand! You really got those block chords down, and I enjoyed the rest of the arrangement too. I thought it was particularly creative how you blended it with the "spinning song" your sister did.
