Elssa...when I was listening to it my wife started to sing...

Thanks, Peter.. Yes, it's always easier for me to play the melody with the right hand, being right handed, so I cross the paws now & then with the melody and avoid the "brain scramble", as you say. LOL I loved your "Contemplation" video... I'm a semi-retired electric organist and think the variety of sounds/settings is a lot of fun. Great arrangement:)

They don't make musicals like this anymore, I guess

peterws - Contemplation is really beautiful. You clearly have a lot of talent1 I like the transitions. The mix of instruments and waves is really nice.

Elssa - Your right, they do not make musicals like this anymore. I really liked you styling of this piece, and the crossed hands was an interesting effect.

Ha ha - I`m not quite old enough to remember those old musicals. They never did back flips in those days either, and the clothes stayed on! HOW times have changed!!

Well, I'm only 50, so before my time, too, but sure is nice to watch these great old clips on YouTube.

Elssa~ Such a sweet song. Beautifully done, indeed.

Peterws - I very much enjoyed the full version of your e-cital piece. Nice multi-media production. Great work on dubbing over the tracks!

ladypayne~ Your playing has gotten so much more solid. That was a wonderful rendition.

I have to play this piece for my final exam in May. I can only play the first two pages so far. There are plenty of mistakes, and rhythm issues. But here is what I have so far;)

Beautiful, Augustina! I look forward to hearing the finished product as you make your way through to the next pages of the piece. It's very nice.

Augustina, sounds like a big project that is going very well...

Ladypayne - Your best piece to date I think
Elssa - I watch old movies all the time - including old musicals. Keep it up.
Augustina - Sounds very tricky to play. Well done

peterws, jazzwee, Mark,SwissMS, BillM, Inlanding, ladypayne, Elssa, Augustina,

Thank you for the contributions. Listening to the music is enjoyable.

Elssa, thanks for sharing your version of If I Loved You.
I like the original too.

Augustina, nice start.
Looking forward to the rest.

That is coming along very nicely, Augustina. I could do with a music teacher myself. But would I do what I was told? ha ha

I am here 1st day of March. Who will had off the March Piano Bar?

Before the February piano bar spins to a close and makes way for the March bar, let me tell you I got to listen to a few contributions, unfortunately not all, of which I'm sure all are of fine quality.

BillM and Peterws, great jobs on that Simon & Garfunkel classic. Especially Peterws rendition, with no shadow cast on BillM's performance, the former was just so outstandingly good. Fine performance on the beautiful hymn Just As I Am, by ladypayne. Wasn't that hymn always performed at Billy Graham's crusades?
