It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
This was a first take/one take wonder. I got from beginning to end in one go without any huge mistakes (there's a first time for everything).
It's another old song of mine from 1980/81 recreated as a piano number. I humbly suggest it's in the style of English pop songs that goes from Ray Davies of the Kinks to Difford and Tilbook of Squeeze (well, that was my aim anyway).
Seaside_Lee~ nice montage of music from the UK! Thanks for bringing it to the bar!
stumbler~ another fine Strathspey from you. Such a pretty melody and storyline your bring to the fore with this piece.
Newman~ Another Day, Another Drama! haha! What a great title. I really like the upbeat rhythm and fun lyrics. You must have quite a lot of other recordings yet-to-be-released. Look forward to more for sure.
Hey Stumbler . . . I take it you`re a Scot! D`ya live in that area perchance? It`s a nice part o` the world in Summer I believe. . .not as dour as the music might suggest!
Newman - "Amother Day another Drama" followed by "She`s leaving home" . . . . .Good stuff, man! Fun isn`t it? You`ll have to get together wi Bill . . .
Here`s one I had to work bloody hard at. On Piano No 3, the out of tune one. Me fingers are stuck at full stretch permanantly now; I look funny walking down the street heh heh (Sorry, Simon. Sorry Garfunkel . . .)
Actually I'm only a quarter Scott, a grandmother from Edinburgh. I've been there once, but it was in May---so fairly pleasant. I'm in Canada, far enough away, hopefully, to be safe from their retribution for what I've been doing to their music
BTW, what was the bird in the pictures? It looks a little like what call a robin over here---which isn't a robin, but actually a thrush---but way too small.
Hi Stumbler . . these are the Friendly Neighbourhood Robins. They get fed by the hotel guests who just happen to be outside the door. Smoking . . .to which the management is sympathetic. . .
Peterws - nice work and a very full sound. Is that the view from your backyard? Wow. Mark - Congratulations on the cross over hands. I wouldn't try it myself yet.
Backyard? Heh heh. Hotel window, my friend! Celebs get there now and again to discuss business . . . but in January, it`s cheap. Which is why me and `er were there . . . .
Jazzwee, it didn't click the first time I listened to it, but after listening to a couple other versions on you tube, I went back to yours and it made a lot more sense. Nice performance.
