An old melody played , hopefully, in a relaxed style

It is certainly different.

Ron

An old favourite originally recorded by Glen Campbell

I have now progressed to full fibre into my house. Right now download was 168 Mbps and upload 55 Mbps. What a difference after years of 1.4 Mbps download.

Thanks for the explanation Den, but the Button Box as it is known in Scotland, will always remain a mystery to me.
Brandon is a fine player of this instrument. He smiles while Jimmie Shand never did.

Ron

Den, Here is Brandon McPhee playing his button accordion. BRANDON McPHEE - “REEL PLAYING' Scottish Music dptQYshIctM When the advert appears, click the X in the top right hand corner of the rectangle to remove it. He certainly makes it look as though this instrument is easy to play! Ron

This melody was composed by Marvin Hamlisch.

I posted this for Remembrance Day. I recorded this 10 years ago and I cannot recall where I sourced the melody. A nice arrangement IMO, but possibly might have been better to omit the bagpipe section. However many Scottish Regiments were deserving of being remembered along with all the other nationa...

Recorded many years ago.

This is recorded by Ed Sheeran. The lyrics are particularly poignant.

To any members trying to use links to my musical posts please note you will be unsuccessful. My complete 10 years of recordings has been deleted from my Box account by parties unknown. Has this happened to anyone else? I do have a backup of my recordings but if I upload these back to Box, all the l...

Another excellent article Hugh. This should be a great help to the less IT savvy folks out there. This software is still under development so improvements should be on the cards.

I have used Harmony/Echo on a couple of pieces I have played recently trying to follow Hugh's info in his articles on using Harmony/Echo, above. Who can I turn to . I have used a simple Bossa style for this. The first part of the song is Flute using Harmony/Echo , Standard Duet . https://app.box.com...

Yes, A minor is the original key. In the mid section it changes briefly into C major and F major. And NO, I do not have perfect pitch so I had to Google the answer .

Ron

Amazing authentic sound….just about. Few more Grace notes would add more realism. Especially like the sound of the bag springing into life right at the start

Ron

Excellent work Hugh. It would be nice to know if forum members ever read and make use of all your info. I certainly do

Ron

This is very recognisable in some of Mozart’s compositions.

Ron

A very interesting article Hugh. To be perfectly honest, until recently I had completely forgotten about the Harmony/Echo button. Someone mentioned it in a post I think and I said “ wonder what that is”. I had to search the keyboard to find it. What a very useful function it is and does away with th...

We have discussed this. Hugh and I would make the point that Yamaha have tried very hard in sampling the various instruments to make them sound realistic. That is why I try and make my playing of some instruments sound as realistic as I can. On woodwind or brass instruments this is easily done by ta...

Hugh

Do not recall ever thanking you for doing this video. Much appreciated,

Ron

Autumn Concerto. Recorded many years ago by Norrie Paramor and his Orchestra. Played in Freestyle on my Tyros 3.

Ed Sheeran's "Perfect". Although I liked it when I first heard it, as soon as I started playing it and realised how basic and repetitive the chords were I wasn't too keen on the song .. yet strangely it is growing on me and I now love listening to my playing of it. qUdqS87n-fo When the adv...

This appears elsewhere on the Forum but should be posted here.

Hi Hugh

Just listened to your interview with Ian Wolstenholme. You came over very well and as I have told you previously, you do a marvellous job for the TDP Forum. Congrats

Regards

Ron

I wish ! NO, it is 1.5mbps download. Carrier pigeon might be faster

Ron

Update: Problem solved successfully and most likely was due to me not pushing 1 button on the Tyros.

Thanks again to Hugh for all his input on this issue.

Regards

Ron

Hugh kindly mailed me a floppy disk containing the MFD file for the Tyros 1. Unfortunately this did not work and I was unable to replace the current file with the “corrected” file. I am assuming there is possibly a fault with the file or even with the floppy drive. It is now an old machine. If anyon...
