Hi All!

I was just playing around last night and came up with another original blues tune. If you like blues you might like it. Anyway, it is original.

I hope you enjoy it!

Rick, I like it.

Rickster - I liked this a lot! Very nice vocal and piano work.

David - I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks for posting.

jazzwee:

Nice Work ! ! !

Augustina:

Beautiful work there!

homeinmyshoes:

For some reason, my computer wouldn't let me play your piece.....

Studio Joe:

Wow....that is so great.....great work.

Very enjoyable prelude, David.

Great blues, Rick. I can tell you had fun with it.

@Rickster: well, there's no standing ovation/encore/clapping smiley so, . Really entertaining.

Thanks for the comments on my new blues tune, all!

Actually, I was just playing around on the piano Friday night and feeling kind of down (blues all over me ) and this song sort of came to me. It is a catchy little tune though.

The thing about blues music is that, after a while, it all seems to sound alike; although that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sound really good. I guess most all styles of music are like that to an extent. (I wish I had left off the silly laugh at the end, but my music does that to me… it puts a smile on my face most of the time; or either tears in my eyes! )

Anyway, the song is one I’ll add to my “homemade repertoire” .

Take care everyone, and keep up the great playing!

Rick

You are a real talent Rick, thanks for posting - Encore!

Dude, that chuckle at the end is your trademark, and it's got to stay!

As far as all blues music sounding the same, well, maybe that's true for bad blues music, but not for good blues music. Sure, the chord progressions are predictable and formulaic, but a lot of good stuff can happen within that structure. It's all about heart, and you've got plenty of that, so don't worry.

Isn't it nice to have such an outlet when we feel bad? It sure beats kicking the dog, or telling the wife "yes, in fact, your butt does look fat in those jeans..." Now there's a couple song titles for ya.....

Hi everyone, I'm making an 'appearance' again I've been busy gathering up my courage and working on a piece to submit for the Piano Bar (my first), but it still needs some polishing. I may end up submitting it next month...we'll see.

Meanwhile, I've been listening to some of the great contributions here (sorry, there are many so I won't be able to comment on some of the other performances!):

Ladypayne - such a cute piece! It gives me fond memories

David - Bach Prelude in G minor is so beautifully played too! Now I'm even more inspired to tackle some Bach - which I will, since I've just decided to concentrate on Baroque music next

Elssa - I really love the Two Guitars piece It's the first time I heard it. What voice/s did you use with your DP?

Rick - You've got a great voice! Goes well with the piano playing too

Studio Joe - Very nice playing in "The Shadow of Your Smile." Did you improvise that or were you reading from the sheet?

Thanks Marimorimo, Actually I started with an imoprov which I kept adjusting untill I had it like I wanted, and memorized. Then I wrote the sheet music accordingly.

When I recorded, I was reading from the music I had written. Below is a link to the music if anyone is interested.

Hi, Joe -

I printed out your arrangement. I'm trying to get away from always doing oom-pah when I make my own accompaniment, and thought playing and studying yours would give me a boost. Thanks for letting us print it.

You are welcome Cathy, I hope you can make good use of it.
