Ken, It's always nice to hear Christmas songs played on an organ. Enjoyed that! In that video by by Susan Boyle and Johnny Mathis, don't look too closely at the synchronization between the 'live' singing and the words of the song. It's way out! Hugh PS. By the way, there won't be a 'December Challen...
Den, Lovely Country 'n Western. Nice sounds from your Tyros 4. That's a couple of times now you've asked people if they mind you taking their photograph. I remember one you took of a lady's hair .. from behind. And now this couple. I hope you tell them they will be on the internet and their photo wi...
Den, Well remembered! Yes, Gracie Fields sang that song .. as did Vera Lynn. But it was probably a soldier like the one below who sang it. Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye, performed by Andy Wilsher Sings - Songs From The War Years Show tMb4nkOuTiU Here's the next one. 10. Won't you please say 'H...
Brian, Liked the 'double INTRO'! I think you have used a Left Hand Voice in this (it's either that, or the PAD in the STYLE). Anyway, having that gives some great harmony. Liked the way you 'stopped' and then 'started' again. Again, I have chosen a later version of this piece from YouTube. Everly Br...
Jon, Wonderful! Played in your inimitable style. Particularly liked the strings. Then following with the piano made a nice contrast. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel - "Bridge Over Troubled Water" nNq3c0NVhzA Comment from under the video: Paul Simon was a song writing genius, but no-one brough...
Brian, Really enjoyed listening to that! The organ voice sounded great .. and I liked the little 'interlude' with the guitar. Did you multitrack that? Or just split the keyboard so you had the guitar voice available when you wanted to use it? Do you even remember what you did? Then you had the guita...

Well done Den. And thanks for posting the answer. It's only when I get an answer that I am able to post the next question! Vera Lynn - Lili Marlene ZSMuTm649Hk Next one. 8. To last me all my life. Just bear in mind that this is a British World War 2 Song .. so it's not a 'memory' that would last him...
Quite right, Ken! White Cliffs of Dover VERA LYNN (with lyrics) 89487uG13Ro No: 5. 5. The other night dear. Ken .. by all means wait a while before clicking on POSTREPLY again. But I have a feeling that knowing all the LYRICS of these songs is an 'age' thing. I have been talking to Ron about it, and...
I'm sure that many of us keyboard players play from 'Busker' type music, which just shows the melody line with chord Symbols. The whole idea of this type of music is to give you a basic frame to play from. It gives you the chords (harmony of the piece) and the melody line. One of the things that is ...
Brian, Great choice of voicing for that one. From Wikipedia: " Durham Town (The Leavin') " is a song, written and sung by Roger Whittaker, released as a single in 1969. Whittaker's original intent, to set the song in Newcastle, was abandoned in favour of nearby Durham because Whittaker agr...

Ken, Liked the way you played that. I reckon it's much easier to get a bit of vibrato on a violin when playing a keyboard than when playing the real instrument. I don't play the violin, but presumably any vibrato has to be done by rocking a finger on the string? From a Violin Masterclass. What Is Vi...
John, You get a great sound from your Tyros 5! I have always liked how they incorporated this song into The Music Man .. having a barbershop quartet singing 'Goodnight' to the ladies while at the same time the ladies were singing 'Pick-a-little'. This version below is from an amateur stage productio...
At our organ Club tonight we had a Quiz . Name That Song from a line in the LYRICS. These are songs that were very popular during the war years (you can tell from that what the average age of our organ club Members is!). When we named the song, the Artiste (pianist this time) played the song and we ...

True Love Ways . Now this was sung by Buddy Holly (not a Duo), Robson and Jerome (a Duo) and by Peter and Gordon (a Duo). I think this is one of my favourite pieces of all time, with that wonderful harmony throughout the piece. My take on this. Played on my AR80 organ. The 'answering phrases' were ...

Ron, That is an amazing piece of music. You have a real skill when playing a keyboard. Must go back to when you played in a band. You mention that this was a hit for Glen Campbell, and that in his final days he suffered from Alzheimer's. I have come across this interview with him ... Glen Campbell's...
