Bill M, sensitive performance.
Its been a number of years since I last watched "Its a Wonderful Life". My first thought upon seeing "Bert and Ernie", was that there had been a muppets remake---silly me.

Candlelightpiano - I'm sorry I didn't mention looking forward to hearing you with Bill and Weiyan--I almost missed you. I love Disney too, what a great way to get back in condition practicing scales and arpeggios after hand injury. Well done! Weiyan -- what a lot of bang for a buck or under a buck if one minute equals a dollar in performance currency I see definite improvement in smoothness and expressiveness. Keep it up! BillM -- Definitely evoked the duet performed by the beloved twosome. Brilliant idea to use the harmonizer. Nice choice in terms of both the season and your signature style. Thanks!

Thank you, Starr Keys, for your kind and encouraging remarks on my Scales and Arps. Yeah, it was a good way to get back into paino.
BillM: I LOVED IT TRULY! Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Elvis Presley? You have such a beautiful voice and you sing with so much heart. Loved your piano accompaniment, too. Your song moved me.

BillM - that harmonizer makes for an interesting sound - an addition to your repertoire!

Newman - I always enjoy your Beatles covers. Seems you have added more echo than normal on this one. Sounds good.

Candlelightpiano - I also am a big Disney fan but must have missed this one along the way. You play with confidence and style - love the camera angle. It is great to see who is behind the (excellent) playing.

Thanks, Bill (but I must do some other artists!)Yes, probably a little more effect. It's a fine line isn't it? To take a simple live recording done in your lounge room at home and lift it just a little but not too much because it is, after all, just you and your piano at home.

What a great start of the new year!! I look forward to listen to all your performances and comment on them individually. We just got a new digital piano (Roland LX-15) this Christmas. I love how it feels, looks, and sounds. Here is a video of me playing on it. I am performing (trying to at least) the piece I am teaching our oldest son at the moment "In Dreams" from the movie Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (easy piano version). It is funny that "easy piano" sometimes is quite hard... [video:youtube]gezo7SF5Wy8[/video]

Amaruk, congrats on the new piano.
The problem with easy music is making it sound easy. You succeeded nicely.

My first submission... a lot of you have played Bach's Minuet in G before and way much better! I'm trying to catch up and looking for advice/suggestions to improve... Thank you!

Wish4 Thing, there's nothing wrong with your playing of the minuet. Well done.

Wow, Amaruk, you and your new Roland were made for each other! Wonderful sound and playing! The only thing more I could ask is--when are you going to sing with it?!

Amaruk -love the piano (and the tune is pretty good too!). Edit to insert - I just googled the piano. Very nice specs etc. But I didn't see the technical notes on how to open the keyboard cover Wish4 Thing - I love this tune, as "Lovers Concerto" by The Toys and Supremes

Some really fabulous music coming out of the Bar as usual. I haven't been out much lately as it really is quite a bit of work in getting a piece presentable, record etc. as you all know of course. Instead I have been practicing oodles on my upcoming recital pieces for the Mendelssohn and Feb recital, plus some other Chopin things that caught my interest. I'm never far away though, and always listening. Everyone obviously has what it takes in putting together some fabulous pieces and the year is starting out on a strong foot. Kudos everyone and congratulations on the new keys Amaruk. Sounds fabulous ... a bet your practicing time just quadrupled You've all got me motivated to give it a whirl though. Here is another Minuet in G for you all. This one by Beethoven though. I learned it many many years ago and is always fun to play. Clearly it could use a few more rehearsals. At any rate, hope you enjoy my rendition of ... Minuet in G - Beethoven

Happy New Year! Great stuff everyone. I can see that the year is off to a roaring start with new instruments, new musical tricks, and new contributors.
Amaruk - man, that thing sounds like a million bucks. hopefully, that is not what you paid for it :-)
BillM - Hysterical ending with the harmonizer on I Love You Truly. That was fun
Wish4thing - Congratulations on your inaugural posting. Minuet in G was a great introduction to your playing
Candlelightpiano - Scales and Arpeggios was very enjoyable. I was surprised to hear that this was from Disney.
Starr Keys - You are always getting us with those emotional songs. Why don't they make them like this anymore? Was that foot pedal noise in the beginning? Maybe the mic could be moved
Weiyan - Great forward progress on Mussette. Enjoyable to listen to!
Stumbler - Miss Jane... was a beautiful arrangement, well played. It is pretty cool that you came up with a number that had melodic traces of Auld Lang Syne just in time for an early January posting.
Newman - You get a lot of vocal backing strength out of just a single instrument. For No One, at the tempo that you sing it, doesnt seem like it is made for accompaniment by a single keyboard - but you pull it off! Very nice!
L.P. - I love the multi-instrument mix on Adagio. Really special.
