It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
March used to be a great month for me.. Meant spring was coming. Up here in Alaska though, probably not for a few more months
Here's my contribution. I arranged two hymns (Be thou my vision and Fairest Lord Jesus) and put it into a medley. I used a fake book for both hymns. I made up a video of pictures too from winter up here in AK. Hope you enjoy!

You live in a nixce place, LP . . . I love those runs you do, it punctuates and lubricates at the same time giving a good atmosphere. And - temperatures in Summer?

Weiyan - I was wondering, as you so often play without sheet music, do you learn without it too (ie. play by ear?)
I hope I could play by ear. I am a sight reader and play by memory.

Weiyan - 1960`S . . . Used to play this in the band wi other dance stuff. I see you have no front on your piano, and are unincumbered with reams of music! A good memory is essential. . . . an enjoyable flashback which reminds me of how young I`m not . . . !
Weiyan...thank you, that was nice. Admire your piano.
Ladypane... That was really good. At times, I started forgetting I was supposed to be listening to the music. It blended well. I would have expected some darker pictures for winter from up there?
Ron Your brain is a sponge. Keep it wet. Mary Gae George The focus of your personal practice is discipline. Not numbers. Scott Sonnon
inlanding - Mood music. Love the way there`s a constant framework of notes offset against a varying (lower) register. Has modern feel. This sort o` music will swallow me up some day. . . .soon!
Here y`are guys! First time wi the overhead camera. If I have it any closer, funny noises come out o` the piano . . The film is of a later attempt at this piece since the one you`re listening to; I forgot to switch on the video . . .see if you can spot the discrepancies.
Glen: Very nice moody piece. The ending is soulful. There are a few notes, F3, G3, I can't make them sound like others. The piano need to soften the voice too.
Peterws: Jesus Joy of Man's Desire is well played. Its not easy to play. For there seems many repetitions and easy to lost in music.

Ladypayne - your arrangement was beautiful, and you played it very well. The music fit the mood of the video. I cannot imagine driving over a lake.
Weiyan - Good job on an old classic.
Glen- Nice Einaudi rendition, and you improv was seamless.
Peterws - I really like Bach, and I enjoyed your version of Jesu Joy. I love the camera angle. I have been trying to figure out how to do an overhead shot. Yours was perfect.
Here is a little blues piece I have been playing around with called Missouri River Ballade.
