It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Another really nice song, Rick. I enjoyed listening. We need to remember that our happiness is dictated less by our circumstances than by our reactions to them.
My piece this month is called Cold Duck Time. Here I am using the Electric Piano voice on my Yamaha piano, for a funk sound. Drums and bass were on a backing track. This is kind of a catchy funky song - something different for me.
ah so I Finally can record videos on my phone, thought I'd try it out, anyways here is The Battle excerpts from one of my favorite movies Gladiator. I know I need to move the camera over a bit more, but like I said it was just a test to see how my video recording worked on my phone and uploading worked:)
Augustina, I haven't seen the movie (I rarely watch films), but that is a nice piece. I must say your playing on it is wonderful. Pretty good recording quality for a phone, too.
Studio Joe: Very nice piece! Rickster: another enjoyable piece to listen too. You're so talented! Riddler: That was fun to listen to thanks! BenPiano: great playing! Augustina: Very cool!
Here's one submission from me this month. I'm trying to do another piece too but I havent had anytime to play it:( And no vid link for now. I always have to try to upload my vid on photobucket like 10 times before it goes through. Getting Kind of Annoying! ANy other site that's good for uploading vids? I'm not brave enough to put them on youtube :P
I've seen Pan's Labyrinth once and it is quite an odd movie. Most definitely haunting! I'm not really sure how I felt about it, it was pretty bizarre but it was certainly very interesting and kept my attention throughout, so I suppose that's a good thing.
Great playing ladypayne. I agree, you should be on YouTube! You'll get a lot more exposure that way and most of the people searching for piano videos are quite friendly and are just happy to hear other people making music, and most of them also play.
Edit: Just another quick entry here, have been working on this the last couple of days and finally got my fingers to cooperate long enough to make a recording: Final Fantasy VII - Ahead On Our Way
The Final Fantasy music seems to all be quite enchanting. I've never played the game, but I have enjoyed all the pieces folks have posted from it. This one is no exception. Well played and expressive, AnotherSchmoe.
This is the last song for the month for me since I'll be going on vacation on Monday^_^
I finally got through this whole song with only messing up a few times ^_^, its not good enough for a video at the moment because I'm still practicing it, but here is what I have so far:) Oh there is a part at the end of the song where I am suppose to play it an Octave higher.. but my little keyboard doesn't have that many keys lol I recorded this again with my phone because I think the audio sounds a little better then my poor camera...
I'm really enjoying all these great renditions here in the bar. Bill, I used to play that Muppet theme on the organ - just love what you did with it - so creative and fun to listen to.
Well, I have to credit my cat, Gwen, for the ending with this one:
Those little town blues are fading away . . . I like the way the cat gets in there at the end. Fun!
Spring has finally sprung here in Maryland although most of my yard is still covered in snow. As our thoughts turn to the warm, sunny days ahead I'd like to add one of my favorite summer songs to the Piano Bar.
Believe it or not, I'm not familiar with this one. I know most of the "old guy tunes" as you call them being an old guy myself, but this one escaped my notice until now. It's a nice tune, and as usual you did a great job with it.
B528 - I absolutely loved your "Under the Boardwalk"! It's one of my favorite summer tunes also - I really liked that you did a little slower rendition, made it more romantic.
This is a cool one, sounds pretty heroic. I just recorded it about an hour or two ago. There's a mistake near the end but I'm trying not to worry about it too much.
AnotherSchmoe- really enjoyed your pieces this month. You have a wonderful touch and your playing is very expressive. The quality of your recordings is excellent.
