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

Hi John,

Sounds like a busy night you all had, bet you all enjoyed it, keep up the good work, Brian007

Hi Mike,

I knew he was a local lad but apart from the 2 songs you mentioned I had never really taken much interest in him, until I heard this track that's on the video a very good guitar player and songwriter.

All the best, Brian007

Hi John,

I doubt very much that was me, but surprising how much things have changed over the years and not all of them for the better,

You should check the guys other videos he has some good ones of this area and Newcastle too.

ALL THE BEST, Brian007

Hi ALL, Came across this on YouTube and was blown away by this song by some one I had never really rated Chris Rea. The song is called " Because of You " not me playing. The video is a slide show of old pictures of Chester-le-Street, not by me but a local historian lRdhki1A0uM All the best...

Hi Den

Certainly good advice to get vaxed , thought the video was interesting and entertaining , and know what you mean about filling in time

All the Best, Brian007

Hi John,

Glad to hear it went so well, sorry I could not make it because of family commitments

All the best, Brian007

Hi Carloss, Thanks for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, Compared to just sitting down and playing one instrument yes it is, but its about moving forward and I would never have been able to create a piece like that by just sitting and playing one instrument. Not everyon...

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to listen and comment and pleased that you liked it, hope your OK and hope to see you at the Music Makers Club time shortly all being well


All the best, Brian007

Hi Ken,

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, as regards to being creative ? I think it was a bit of feeling locked into the past to much and a time to move forward who knows its new and different and keeps me amused

All the best, Brian007

Hi Hugh,

Thanks a lot for listening and commenting and also for sorting out the Youtube codes , noticed it was Youtube2 but did not realise there was a difference. As I said to John T, nothing stops the same forever.

All the best, Brian007

Hi John T.

Thanks a lot for having a listen and commenting and pleased that you enjoyed it, its different from my normal stuff, but nothing stops the same forever

All the best, Brian007

Hi ALL, Was asked by an old friend who runs a Model Railway Blog if I could create a 2 minute piece of music for his blog site, The first track I created was the Bass. there are only 4 chords in the whole piece C - Bb - F - G Then the drum track shown in a gold colour, which was easy with the ipads ...

Hi Jon D.

Well up to your very high standards as usual , like the arrangement and voices you used, nice one

All the best Brian007

Hi Hugh, Yes its never easy losing a pet because as you say they become a member of the family and do leave a great big hole to be filled in your life, Yes the music its vey different from my normal stuff but change is not always such a bad thing and it does represent a new challenge in how I can cr...

Hi John T,

Thanks a lot for listening and pleased that you enjoyed it , just a something a bit different that just popped into my head
and it filled a couple of hours in on a dismal bank holiday monday

All the best, BrIan007

Hi ALL, Unfortunately our 8 year old Lurcher dog called Rosie died last Sunday afternoon, and as you can imagine it has made both me and the wife very sad , so I thought I would try and create a short piece of music as a celebration of her life. This was created using just the Ipads built in voices ...

Hi John,

Thats good news , if you need a roadie you know where I am,

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Norman,

A very good cover of that classic pop number, good vocals and backing made it a very enjoyable piece to listen to

All the Best, Brian007

Hi Hugh, To me our music is mostly instrumental cover versions of songs/tunes, just like many artist cover other artist materials / song and they do invariably try to put their own stamp on it in some way, so this is where we have a certain amount of licence as to how we cover the original song, All...

Hi Hugh, I find playing by ear fairly easy even in my teens that was the way I played my music, sheet music was available but expensive and a good travel to find a shop that sold it. As regards playing what you think you hear and what's actually right is another thing, I find some sheet music or sco...

Hi Den,

A very nice easy to listen to version of that number, and the video/slide show certainly held my interest right through till the end,
never seen as many apples before.

All the best, Brian007

Hi Ken,

I tried it and got a HTTP500 ERROR

The 500 Internal Server Error is a very general HTTP status code that means something has gone wrong on the web site's server but the server could not be more specific on what the exact problem is


All the best, Brian007

Hi Den, Dont think we will ever get to see or demo one in a music shop here in the UK as I dont think they have any dealerships over here, and even in Europe there does not seem to be any in stock at the dealers that are advertising them , Think I will stick to what I have and know All the Best, Bri...

Hi ALL,

An updated video by a user showing the touch screen in operation , looks a bit bigger than yamahas ?




All the best, Brian007

Hi Mike,

Good to hear that oldie again, enjoyed the video and your performance of that classic number,

All the best, Brian007

Hi Ernest,

Liked that, really got my feet tapping along to that, great stuff.

All the best, Brian007

Hi Ernest,

You certainly cut a grove there, liked it,

All the best, Brian007

Hi Den, Touch screen can be a blessing or a pain, for me the touch screens are too small for a start with, registration can be changed by a foot pedal but thats just more kit you need to have , I think if the way the menu system had been revamped and made easier there was no real need for a touch sc...

Hi Hugh,

It allows me to keep my light weight Korg for jamming with my old band mates once the restrictions allow us to get together again

No its not free, but there are a few free alternative out there even one for the Ipad

All the best Brian007

Hi ALL, As I no longer have a true arranger keyboard I came across this piece of software that allows you to play along the same way you would with an arranger Keyboard. My Korg Kross sends the Chord information and melody notes to the software and it plays the chosen style just the same as an arran...

Hi JT

Not a piece I am familiar with but certainly interesting to listen to and also to watch the video, very well done

All the best, Brian007
