Tony,

Thanks for posting that. You have certainly captured the essence of the Abba song

The YouTube video you found was first class and portrays the tune at it's best.

When Ron played this originally I thought he had made such a good job of playing it I made a YouTube video for him. Love Theme from the movie "Titanic" was sung by Celine Dion with the title " My Heart Will Go On ". The photos in this video ARE of the Titanic, with courtesy from ...

Ron, Enjoyed that .. but I have to say that I haven't heard this one before, and had no idea it was the theme song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (I had in my mind a completely different song which I had thought they used for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics!). Now there's nothing like listening to some...

Ron,

What I loved about this song was the harmony of it. Very unusual chord progressions. That's what did it for me. Anyone could have sung it, but I did think that Liza Minnelli's 'rounded' voice really did suit the song.

Hugh

Ron,

That was a very 'grand' version of that song. It has some lovely harmonies, which you replicated to perfection.

Watch the official video for Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings, which was a #1 single from the soundtrack to the 1988 film Beaches.

This was quite a challenge, as finding video clips of people 'walking, or flying through the air' isn't something you'd come across every day. So I went for an 'animated' approach, using GIFS that were transparent to run along with suitable video clips. Something completely different for me to look ...

Ron, Using a FreePlay Style for this was a brilliant move! As you said, there are no Styles for some tunes, and this is one of them. Your version of this has some really lovely harmonies, and you get a richness from using a FreePlay Style that you wouldn't otherwise have had. The piano sound you wer...

Hugh

Ron, How you managed to put all those bass notes in and make it fit beats me! But I find it difficult to relate to what is clearly a 'jazz' piece, and as such the harmonies are very obscure. It's almost as if everyone is just doing their own thing and hoping for the best. Either you like it, or you ...

I asked on the PSR Tutorial Forum if anyone had used the Audio Recorder to do MULTITRACKING, and had an answer from somebody called Del B, who said: Hi Hugh. Yes I have multitracked using the Audio Recorder, on my YouTube channel. Carol of the bells is one, I know him so well , and Blue Christmas is...

Den, That was great! One of the best recordings you have done!

John .. good guess, but NO, it's not that! I will just say that that is the answer to one of the questions further down the line .. so keep an eye on this topic and jump in with that answer when it's the right question.

Hugh

Brian,

Nice arrangement of that song! How did you get the little counter-melody in the background for the verse (and you did that again later, too). Were you using a Left Hand Voice to emphasize that top note in the chord? Or did you Multitrack that little melody in afterwards?

Hugh

Nearly! It's called "Hey Little Hen".

Ron,

Very impressed with that! Not being a bass player I find it difficult to 'think like a bass player'. I liked those 'high' bass notes towards the end .. and that run down the scale to finish the piece off.

Hugh

JT,

Yes, it is perfectly all right to change the pictures associated with your music tracks in audio.com.

Hugh

There are some on the PSR Tutorial Forum who would say, "Why bother? No one would notice anyway. Just press some buttons and play some songs." Been in a band, done that. We used to play songs one after another for people to dance to. It gives me no satisfaction to do that now. The fun I ge...

Ken,

With a song like this (nice and slow) the harmony comes out so well on an organ. Loved the sound you got .. sort of 'haunting'.

And the video you found was delightful!
