It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Well, I know I already put up one song for this month but I want to put up this one too as I actually put in effort for this piece for awhile now. It was a bit more difficult for me to play and It's still not perfect but best I've played it so far! It's called Once upon a December from the animated fox movie Anastasia
I will listen to the rest of the newly added contributions later too :p

I am currently uploading all of my written piano sheets onto my blog to make things easier. I also have written out a few more sheets. All free check it out if you want Any questions, PM me
David: Nice and smooth on the Beethoven Sonatina. What is that thing on top of your piano?
Sam, that thing on my piano is sculpture of a bird. My girlfriend made it and put it there so now it's virtually unmovable until she decides to put it somewhere else. Luckily, I like it there. And it's a nice improvement over the giant candle which was there before and which was sometimes mistaken for a roll of toilet paper in my previous videos.
While I was listening to all your recordings, it motivated me to record another video. It's just a little tune I was playing when I started to take piano lessons. Because it's really short, the video contains also a harpsichord version (I didn't record it twice, I just changed the instrument in previous recording).
Sam and Laurie - another lovely piece. Perhaps an album is in order? You know, if you make one for gifts for relatives, I'd buy one

Thanks Cathy. We've done one a month for four months now. I'm not going to jinx it by making anything so rash as a resolution to keep it up. We're working on something much harder (a Handel sonata), but the slowdown is the semi-skilled keyboard player.
... That was great - tho hard to eat supper to, since my head was nodding in time with the music and it was hard to stop it long enough to get the fork to my mouth :0 ... Cathy
Uh oh - I can see the news story now:
"Amatuer Pianist Sued for Fork Wound.
A Santa Fe woman is suing a Florida man, and the Piano World Forums, for fork wounds sustained while eating her dinner. According to court documents, the woman was listening to ..."
I really enjoy comping with Band In A Box, but I'm never sure how far to go. I have this vision of comping for a female vocalist (gorgeous, voluptuous, of course), and she is singing sweetly while I am getting carried away with my comping, and suddenly she turns her back (which is lovely, of course) to the audience, turns her mike off, scowls at me, and in a low but angry tone tells me: "Stay outa my space you !@$#$%^#$%^%@#$%", then turns back to the audience, smiling, turns her mike back on, and continues singing without missing a beat. I play a few feeble guide tone lines, muttering about !@$#$%^#$%^%@#$% prima donnas.
I guess if that happens, I'll back off a bit!
Knotty, I haven't looked for a real band, but I'm building up to playing at jam sessions; maybe that will lead to something.
If you haven't found it yet - you can tell the BIAB soloist when to start and finish, in the custom soloist window. You're right, I have a lot of fun with it!
In honor of Elvis Presley's 75th birthday next week my January Piano Bar submission is my interpretation of his classic All Shook Up from the early skinny Elvis era.
The king lives on!! Good job Bill, both singing and piano.
My piece this month is Beautiful Love, by Victor Young. This is a ballad which has become a jazz standard. I am playing the piano, but the drums, vibes, and bass parts are computer-generated.
