By the time I get to Phoenix

This was a hit recording for Glen Campbell in 1967. He was born in Arkansas in 1936 with his father being of a Scottish descent. He had a long and varied career from being a session musician in the early 60’s, to a spell playing bass for the Beach Boys and to even appearing in the movie True Grit st...

And the band played Waltzing Matilda

This very long song was composed by a Eric Bogle who was born in Peebles, Scotland in 1944 and who emigrated to Australia in 1969 where he settled finally in Adelaide. This is my much shortened version of this song. The lyrics recount the experiences of a member of ANZAC in the Battle of Gallipoli d...

Re: What would a real BASS player play when accompanying you

As we have already discussed this Hugh, I think it is only fair to state for the sake of the unbelievers that these notes are not written to be played by a bass player. These are the notes required to setup the Multipad function where everything is based on the scale of Cmaj7. I for one, cannot get ...

Re: What would a real BASS player play when accompanying you

Hugh, The bass notation below in the screen shot is incorrect. http://www.ar-group.org/Files/MichaelRowBASS2B.jpg The lowest note on the bass is E below middle C. So the notes in your demo should not be written as they are. This would seem to be a product of the Yamaha Tyros “ Score “ function. It o...

Through the years

This was one of Kenny Rogers' lesser known tunes but I found the lyrics very meaningful. I have not gone with the original arrangement and this is my own arrangement of the melody. I have played this to the memory of my late wife of 55 years. Hope someone likes it. Ron 1763524800563209

Re: What do THEY know about TALENT? Tony Stace & Andrew Nix.

The judges on this TV show are just a bunch of self opiniated, big headed celebrity naffs. However, I must side with their verdict. Those 2 organists did not shine mainly due to the choice of music they tried to perform. It was an outdated sound being played in a modern environment and organ sounds ...

Re: Playing the "right" chords

Hi Den, My memory is unusable for playing music.
