There's some samples of my keyboard playing on my web site, if anyone
wants to nit-pick. Though much of it was multi-tracked into a
sequencer, I can assure you it was all PLAYED, not step-entered or
otherwise constructed.



OK, let's have a link then!!

It's easy to Google. Look for the page where I advertise scoring and
backing track services. I can't stop anyone posting the direct link,
but I'd rather they didn't.


OK. I think I got it....

;-)

The piece comes over as being put
together, rather than existing in a natural acoustic setting.
Oh it's a composite alright - recorded in three different
countries, and played by people who have never met each
other.
A circumstance that makes it very hard for the players to listen to
each other and co-operate stylistically and rhythmically. It's easy
to phrase together when you can see each other (a little rehearsal
doesn't hurt either :-)


What I would like to see (hear) is dozens of people in different locations
playing in a great big, brought together Bonzo Dog 'Intro Outro' type of
piece - then we could YouTube it!!

That would be great fun. BD were were a very good band.
Maybe The Temperance Seven is more our style?

Hmm....

A) I never liked them that much and B) It is a very *virtuosic* playing
style - is anybody up to that yet?

Not to mention the vocal - but I bet SN could do it!

Yes! How did you get my cat to pee on the carpet like that?

Over Christmas, I got talking to a very upper class lady (as one does)
She told me that she had been in London, and very much enjoyed
a visit to Covent Garden (opera house not market)

We got talking about music. I mentioned playing the saxophone.
She said "Oh wat fun, and jolly easy too I suppose. You just
blow and wiggle your fingers"

I was out on a gig with a xylophone player. "It must be wonderful to
have your gift!" I looked at Syd. He looked at me. "Yes! I
remember it well - last Tuesday it quite suddenly came upon me that I
could play this thing. When was it for you?"

But sax? Yeah, blow and wiggle just about covers it.

Few people get the opportunity these days, except at concerts,

I have posted here before on a number of occasions - ****s who are stuck
on the 'accuracy' aspect of *hifi* equipment and think their 'porridge
pump' sound system delivers the 'real thing' can come here and hear a parp
or two on Swim's clart....

A parp or two? :)

Are you sure that isn't what she said *she* does? ;-)


On a serious note, it's an absolute eye (ear) opener - I can have the
'hifi' going really quite loudly and Swim can absolutely *cut it in
half* with a strong note on the clart!

Mind boggling!!

Really Iain! "Hail Mary's" and "alude" all within a few minutes? Your
having a bad affect on the group.

Oh, all the time. It's doing it by the trombone case that's unusual.

Sorry for the typo. I shall don sackcloth and ashes this moment:-)
Can I do penance by working as a rigger on one of Arny's sessions?
