Hi Jon D.

A really nice catchy and bouncy version of that Christmas song, liked the way you played it and your choice of voices too

Have a great safe Christmas, Brian007

Hi Den,

Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it. the rhythm is a what's called modern 6/8 time Yamaha style and it wasnt to hard to play the melody along to that particular style,

Have a great and safe Christmas, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, in all fairness the music stated 6/8 time so I found myself a what's called modern 6/8 time Yamaha style and used that as a basis of the song and it seems to work well enough.

Have a great safe Christmas, Brian007

Hi John T. Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, Thought I had better post at least one Christmas Carrol but in all fairness I enjoyed doing it once I got started, Yes should be about this afternoon, of to The Bridges this morning , Have a great safe Christmas, B...

Hi Jon D.

Hi ALL,

Here is my version of Silent night, recorded in Cakewalk and using the built in voices from The Korg M1 Synth and Cakewalk, and using a Yamaha style for accompaniment

Have a merry and safe Christmas everyone, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

One of my top three Christmas pop songs , thanks for posting and sharing this

All the best, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, sometimes you need a bit of multi-tracking to beef things up a bit and in this case it seems to have worked fairly well, I got lucky with this one.

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Jacko,

Always liked this Carol as it has a very defined beat to it, nicely played and arranged with a good selection of appropriate voices,

All the best, Brian007

Hi John T.

A very nice rendition of that classic Christmas Carol with some really nice voices from that Tyros 5 of yours

All the best, Brian007

Hi George,

A really good performance of the number, you certainly sound good on that Genos

All the best, Brian007

Hi Ernest,

Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed the music, Multi-Tracking for me is just about adding what sounds right but in the right place

All the best, Brian007

Hi Jacko,

A great selection of Christmas song , all with good arrangement's really enjoyed listening to them, well done young man

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Jacko,

Hope your doing well ? Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, gradually getting used to making music this way and slowly learning how to put more into it,

All the best, Brian007

Hi Jon D.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment and pleased that you enjoyed my version of that song,

All the best, Brian007

Hi John T.

Thanks a lot for having a listen and your kind comments and pleased that you enjoyed it, always thought this was one of the best Xmas pop song ever ?

All the best, Brian007

Hi ALL, Like the title of this song says Merry Xmas Everybody "Merry Xmas Everybody" is a song by the British rock band Slade, released as a non-album single in 1973. The song was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and it was produced by Chas Chandler. It was the ba...

Hi John, The Tyros 5 is a wonderful keyboard with some great voices and when I had mine I really enjoyed playing it, but time to move on for me and this set up I have now really works for me and cost me nothing really as I already have the computer and the second hand midi keyboard I use , so its wi...

Hi ALL,

Don't own a arranger Keyboard now but use what`s called VST`s which are used inside a DAW, been looking for a decent organ sound and discovered this one for free



All the best, Brian007

Hi Hugh, Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and showing an interest, Just goes to show how important using the right voice for a tune can be as it certainly seems so in this case. The chord sequence for the Chorus was created first along with the melody line, then I hit a brick wall on what t...

Hi Den,

A very nice version of that classic Christmas Carol , liked the rich full sound you used,

All the Best, Brian007

Hi John T,

Thank a lot for having a listening and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it,

All the best, Brian007

Hi ALL, Sitting here, thinking in between wondering what I should spend my winter fuel allowance on and should I take the dog for a another walk ? I wondered just how hard it can be to create a Christmassy sounding song ? Given the right voices can it be that hard ? So here is the result and I am su...

Hi John,

A really nice sounding acoustic guitar in there, thoroughly enjoyed both the music and the video.

All the best, Brian007

Hi John,

A beautiful piece which I did enjoy very much, excellent choice of voicing,

All the best, Brian007

Hi Ken,

Very good I wondered where I had heard that tune before, very good

All the best, Brian007

Hi Den,

Very good at least you can get a tune out of it which would be more than I could, Watching the video your right hand appears to be playing the melody what does the left hand do ?

All the best Brian 007

Hi den

They certainly sound a very complicated instrument, only time I hear one in the UK at the moment is street musicians

All the best, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

I have had an Ipad for over 3 years and its not until recently I tried out iMovie on the Ipad, not bad for a freebie





All the best, Brian007

Hi John,

certainly sounds like you had a good night, hope you have many more.

All the best, Brian007

Hi, it has changed and not much of it for the better, market is virtually non existent now on either Tuesday or Friday and even the Saturday car boot type market is not in the Market Place now but up opposite the Post Office where Inshops was which has now been demolished, sign of the times I am afr...

Hi Hugh,

Some interesting video of your town, Stayed there once back when British Railways did what they called Golden Rail Holiday's, we visited Longleat, Bath and Bristol.
Good holiday and a nice place.

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

Yes will do, there is a local guy who is very much into doing this type of video and has loads on Youtube will post some later

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Den,

Very interesting video, only been to Wales a couple of times Port Merion and Porthmadog but enjoyed the experience

All the best, Brian007

Hi Den,

Know what you mean, time just slips by things change or disappear and we dont always notice, good job that someone keeps a photographic record of these changes.

All the best, Brian007
