Beck's new "album" is not a recording, but a collection of sheet music , aimed at "reviving the singalongs around the piano." Interesting!

Is "Beck" a 'they' or a 'he?'

AS an old Beck fan from 20 years ago, this totally fits his character.

Want to listen to Beck's new record? Too bad—you have to play it yourself.


ha Totally off the wall. If you wanna make a buck, this ain't the way to do it.

Wanna get folks interested in making music themselves? This has potential for a small audience of future music makers. Brilliant!

If you've taken a few years of piano lessons, it's not a big deal.


OK, ABF, let's hear some Beck! grin

Something old is new again. Back in the oooooold days, a composer wouldn't perform his music, he'll just give you music on paper! Now this probably means a lot of fans will upload their versions on YouTube. Is it even a cover when there is no original performance?

I'll bet there will be a lot of YouTube recordings.

I just looked at the folio on Amazon, might need to add that to my Christmas wish list.

I don't know if this will interest Beck fans enough for them to pick up and instrument, but it has encouraged me to check out Beck!
