Hi! Tony. Thank you for the posts. Particularly poignant for me as Valentines day was my late wifes birthday. Always a difficult time for me but your renditions help Ken S.
Hi! I have small bond and some premium bonds with the gov site NS&I. Tried to access it and was suspended because they no longer recognised the phone number registered with them. I have not changed anything. I have spend 4 weeks and countless efforts to access my money. I wait on phone for up to...
Hi! Its Sunday and I have nothing better to do than wait for my daughter to travel bringing my Xmas presents. She will not enter house as I have been in isolation for many months. So I thought how about digging out something for the forum. Here is Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring I recorded a long time ago...
What a lovely rendition Tony. Also reminded me of my childhood in the 30's when the lady next door played her foot pumped harmonium. Nostalgia reigns, Ken S.
Hi Jon. That was absolutely brill.Took me back to when my late wife and I used to dance every weds night at our friendship club. We had a keyboardist who played that sort of arrangement. I pictured us dancing a Melody Foxtrot to yours. It would have engendered a feeling of the festive spirit. Thanks...
Hi! As today represents the 100th anniversary of the entombing of the The Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey I decided to submit Nimrod. This is usually played at the Cenotaph. I thought last nights BBC programme on the subject was awesome. In particular the films of massed bombers brought back me...
Hi! In the 1920's my mother won a music degree playing piano and singing. She was pitch perfect. How this was achieved I will never know. She was the youngest of 14 children and from a working class family. Times were hard and she walked 5 miles each way to school every day. We lost dad when I was 4...
Hi! Tony. A great choice of hymns for a wonderful time of the year. Well played. I have celebrated a good harvest this last week or two by picking a 100 lbs of apples and 24 lbs of Morrello cherries. Unfortunately my grapes are unlikely to ripen. Never mind. I am grateful for what I have. Am busy pr...
Hi! folks. I am assuming the role of stand in organist for this Sunday. So I will present a piece I recorded many years ago on my previous organ, the EL90. Busy left hand and feet. Its "Jesus Joy Of Mans Desiring". I expect you all know it. Have a nice day. Ken S. https://app.box.com/share...
Hi! DEN As a widower I understand your isolation. I have not ventured out for months. However although I am an Agnostic I like to play and record hymns. There is one for every occasion. Why should the devil have all the best music. Well played and very soothing. Ken S.
Hi! My niece who plays violin in a county symphony orchestra has come up trumps. Its from the Adagio in Mozarts Violin Concerto, 2nd movement. composed in 1791. Most beautiful music. My extract comes just over halfway through. I played this so long ago I dont know how I came across it. 6QAAZ29cvfU K...
Hi! I took a basket with 10 oranges in it to a party. There were 10 others there and I gave each one an orange. However there was still one orange in the basket. How did that happen? Ken S.
Hi! Brian. Sounds awsome. Would it be possible to recreate something like the Jeff Beck music I posted in the video page? Presumably the programme uses a virtual keyboard. I believe some of our members may use something similar to quantise etc. Do you have any pieces you have produced using it. rega...
