Daniel Watts playing Genos on Oldham Community Radio

I am sure you are all aware that one of our Members, Ian Wolstenholme produces/presents “Community Keyboards”, Oldham Community Radio 99.7FM. He also has an on-line version of this so his program can be listened to anywhere in the world.

Each month our Tierce-de-Picardie Forum has a 'Monthly Challenge'; Members VOTE on which three entries they like best; and Ian broadcasts the 'Winner(s) on his radio program. I try to keep track of when and where these 'performances' are by keeping this topic updated:

Scroll backwards for previous Winners; and forwards for the latest Winners.

With the professional organists, Ian interviews them and some very interesting facts come to light. But what has fascinated me this month is Ian's DECEMBER 2019 broadcast, EDITION 1. You can go there by clicking on the appropriate listing on the page LINK above; or go there dirctly by clicking this LINK below:

From 2:50 to 16:30 Ian has Daniel Watt on his program, and he plays .. and talks about .. the GENOS keyboard.

Daniel has been working for Yamaha for the last 7 years as the top demonstrator, so it's interesting to hear how a real professional sets up and plays this keyboard. You may have come across him already as he has helped produce the YouTube series "Tyros Tipsters" (more recently, "Genos Tipsters").

The first track he plays is Cant Take My Eyes Off You - Frankie Valli and The 4 Seasons; and that is followed by Palladio (Karl Jenkins). I have put the YouTube clips below of the original versions of these two pieces so you can see how Daniel has picked up the sounds and transferred them to his Genos.
