Thanks stumbler!

Larryshone You`re a brave man Larry, strolling up tp the keyboard and playing! I use 10 attempts, swear, get told to stop swearing, mutter and try some more. . . then I have to edit out the previous failed attempts . . .

Ya doin` alright! Weh Hey man whats the weather doin` in Darlington?

Thanks!
As for the weather,its trying to emulate spring, and failing miserably!At least the snow has stopped!Down in the midlands where I hail from they've had lots of snow!

Mark... - I enjoyed your selection and your performance of this cool piece. It has a nice, romantic feel to it and a catchy melodic line although I think I'd let the final chord ring out a bit at the end. Speaking of ringing, your piano really sounds good on this recording - full, lush and with a gutsy bass. Nice sound.

I'm quite tempted to study Debussy's Claire de Lune next. The only trouble is its a piece I find that effects me emotionally..

Really great music this month!

LarryShone~ Most excellent go at Song for Guy! Great job on your first video - it just gets better and more fun from here. Look forward to more!

Thanks for the comments on that SomeStandard from before, it is called, All of You, by Cole Porter. To update the file is next.

Here is my last effort this month.

Daily Piano Piece: Thank you for sharing. You are a talent.
LarryShone: You have a good start. Waiting for the rest verses.
Inlanding: Your last effort is very nice. The ep sound very nice. you area good improvisor.

inlanding.. wow... i dont know what you played, but it sounds very nice. is that original piece? jazzy and blue-ish... i'm sorry, i'm very amateur in musical terms. i just know it sounds pleasing to the ear. thanx for sharing.

larry.. isn't a song that effects you emotionally a good song to learn? wont that be more motivation instead of a hindrance in the progress?

stumbler: thank you for your comments. It's just the way i learn it. I let natural progression of the speed as time goes. So i dont really force it to be faster. to be honest, i'm quite satisfied to get to my current speed as i have set a very low expectation of learning this piece. But of course i would hope for the best that the more i play it the closer it'll come to the real tempo. I'll be just as happy to see improvements in the months ahead even if i probably will never reach a performing level for this piece.

Yes that is true, but Im hyper sensitive, certain pieces can bring me to tears! And yet I prefer melancholy music, I favour the minor key, and I love blues music, cant stand happy pop music!

You`re teasing us wi those jazzy bits . . . .a cracker!

ty.beginner I didn't mean that you were playing it too slow. I was confessing that I lack the self-restraint to stick to a tempo I can manage. The result being that I have a tendency to make ugly messes.

Inlanding, nice improve. I really like the bluesy feel.

"cant stand happy pop music!" Oh Larry! You`ll have a hard time finding any o` that these days! Bring back Kylie . . . and of course, this . . .my favourite . . . heh heh

I don't mind a bit of Kool and the Gang but...Kylie! Nooo.
Or this Justin Bieber kid. Barfville

Inlanding That was fantastic!! I assume it was another improvisation? Great to see you play it too. Thanks for sharing!

hi stumbler.. you mistake my intent. i hope i didnt come of as defensive. i appreciate your comments very much. i was just sharing a little of how i try to learn a song hoping maybe someone could correct it if i go about it wrongly. i didnt mean you are saying im playing it too slow. well i know i am anyway so please, i didnt take anything negative in your comments. i hope neither do you find anything negative in mine. hope i could participate more in the future

LarryShone Great job on the Elton John pice. I like you piano corner! I just hope your spider enjoys your music too... I noticed the tank was empty and I saw something walking up your back toward the end of the song ... Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hear more of your recordings here!

ty.beginner, I didn't find your post negative, but worried that my post might be have been taken negatively. This piano bar has a welcoming positive atmosphere, and I worried I might have unintentionally disturbed that. Please feel welcome and participate freely.
