You know what Gene?
You know what, I've heard people saying that not even you can do a convincing version of My Funny Valentine with a piano.
Maybe they are right.

Well, maybe it's time to start training??

I rather partial to soothing, mellow, sparse little compositions like this one:

"Oh (and btw), the name of the song is Ride, Red, Ride..."

Or, perhaps this delicate, polite little piece of jazz piano:

Dude obviously was able to find the "demonstration" button on that keyboard, lol!

I was just over at the Roland Piano warehouse/service center (Belgium), which is only @30kms from my house (:^), to get my stage piano serviced. They have some home models that can be played like a normal piano (and they sound/feel GREAT), or programmed to pretty much play themselves (with multiple-instrument orchestration!), AND they have all kinds of interactive options in between.

And when you consider all the computer recording systems available, it's a really good time to invest in an electronic keyboard.

I was going to call bullshit on the piano "Valentine" screed of no good way to do it. But a 10min search of Youtube convinced me I was wrong. In my head I can hear it played well but in almost every version I got the same jazz theory that 6 notes are better where 1 would suffice.

Best I could find was this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJaOH7ce ... re=related
Although I'm sure there are better. That song on piano should be sparse. Slow tempo-ed with clear notes without all the fancy extra stanzas jazz often shoves in.

Petie I'll bet you could clean it up into a bourbon soaked tearjerker without all the extraneous fluff of "check out how cool I am with my fancy finger work" extra notes.

And if you hear more than 3 minutes of this without getting the brown bottle out you have more will power than me.

Off to open the cabinet.

And afterwords we can run amok! Or if you're too tired, we can walk amok.

Okay, you asked for it. Warning: you are going to fall in love and want a drink with a cigar leaning on the bar.

And yes, she used to sing that wearing tight velvety dresses.

Edit: BTW the girl is still alive, she is a recent artist but she's only doing crap nowadays.

And open the cabinet I did. What a storm. A whisky front came through here last night. Caused a lot of damage.

An other one, and then i'll stop being so proud, I swear.
By the way, this one requires Cognac: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GZRTm9-tz0
Wait until 0:47 please, the sound is not not very good.
