True Love Ways. A Buddy Holly number. Played on my AR80 organ. The advantage of an organ over a keyboard is that you have two manuals (an 'upper' and a 'lower') and these can be set to two different Voices. Then while you are playing you can 'jump' from one manual to the other to get a 'counter mel...
Another Quiz from the lady who runs our Weston-super-Mare Organ Club .. Jo Lucas. Can you name the MUSICAL from the 'clues' below? Click on POSTREPLY and give us your answer. When I get a correct answer I'll put up the next clue. 1. Singing Spirit. Which musical does that conjure up?
There are two songs with this title. Van Morrison sings the latest version (not so keen on that!) and you have to go back a few years to find the version you have played.
Jim Reeves - Have I Told You Lately That I Love You
Den, Romance in the air! You really do have to read the words to fully appreciate this song. I'll always remember the song they were playin' The first time we danced and I knew As we swayed to the music and held to each other I fell in love with you Could I have this dance for the rest of my life? W...
John, What a romantic song! You really have got to read the words to fully appreciate the song. If I had my life to live over I'd do the same things again I'd still want to roam Near that place we called home Where my happiness never would end I'd meet you when school days were over And we'd walk th...

But feel free to post REPLIES to any of the songs that are already up there. If you find something interesting that you think other Members would like to ...
I know that other artistes have sung this song .. Elvis Presley for one. But looking through YouTube, all these other versions are sung sooo slooowly! Can't relate to that!
Brian, Loved the strange sound of the wind (?) in the INTRO and ENDING of this song. There are some lovely harmonies in it, and I got hooked on it as my son bought the CD of it and was constantly playing it from his bedroom.

Rob, Really enjoyed your playing of this as an instrumental. Loved the harmony from the 'voices' you had playing with the chord. Sounded very much like an allocated Left Hand Voice .. but may have just been the sound created from the PAD Part in the Style. Thing about listening to something as a 'in...
JT, I too wear hearing aids .. which I wear from the moment I get up to when I go to bed. When they carried out my hearing test they drew a graph showing me where my hearing loss was greatest. Basically, I had no problem hearing lower frequencies, but as the frequencies got higher, this is where my ...
Ron, Now .. how did you do that? Loved the piano INTRO, and having the piano playing the melody really suited the song. The STYLE backing also created some lovely counter melody notes which fitted in so well. Then when you switched the melody instrument you still had the piano accompanying the song....
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...
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.
Written by the Pet Shop Boys in 1988, this song was sung by Liza Minnelli.

They have put quite a few things in different places so when you want to do something they are no longer where you expect to find them .. like COPYING or EMBEDDING your music. But everything is still there, somewhere. They have also made you specify right from the word go the CATEGORY your music sho...
That completes the Quiz. A thanks to Jo Lucas who runs our Organ Club in Weston-Super-Mare. It was she who put together this Quiz in the first place for Members of the club.
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...
I have heard more from Del B, whose YouTube performances using Audio Multitracking are in this topic a little further up ... He says: Hi Hugh. Thanks for sharing the multi-tracking of my performances on your site .. much appreciated, The Carol Of The Bell s although there are a lot of bells playing,...
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 ...
