Well, hells bells, Don...I just want to hear how Scotty combines wildy different tunes...

So, apparently the sharing and discussion of what may be a really neat musical thing now becomes secondary to something else?

Urgh...

The jerks on this forum will always be around...we really don't have to play into their hands do we? It took less than a couple days for the same reason I moved away to come up again...

Frustrating...

Exactly...I've done many medleys but all with (usually) the same style throughout. Some styles ARE very similar in meter and feel so yes, you can switch those...but to go from a swing tune into a slow bluesy ballad and not make people fall down if they dancing isn't something I've been able to have much luck with. I think it sounds awkward and don't pursue it...

Oh course not but somehow it always does.
I just got out of the hospital...so I dont need bickering in my life this week....
all you lolly gagging hootsie tootsie part time lurking weekend worriors who think we are in a perfect world and have returned Im happy for ya ...but dont think for one minute anyone here has forgotten the past.

Not the same, Donny.

There's no medleys...and no Donny playing.

Sorry, my friend...I had no idea it was such a sensitive issue with you.

ian demoing anything here with its past track record is the critical fuse igniter to musical armageddon....sure Id love to share my music here ....but that a thing of the past...Ive learned my lesson.....its a shame it has to be that way but it is what it is. Theres an underlying egotistical nastiness that lingers deep within.....dont be fooled.

Well Donny, I guess your point is made.

Now, can we please get back on topic...I'd be very interested in hearing what themes people use for medleys.

I might give some a try on my next gig.

You know Don, I respect the hell out of your work...the handful of stuff I've heard is all strong stuff. But the above message sounds like a shot or something. I don't entirely understand it, either.

Sorry to hear you were in the hospital, hopefully everything is good on your end...

With the PA 800, I set up my registrations for each song, insert them into a custom list in the order I want to play them, and punch 'next' to get from one song to another while noodling on some variation of a minor ii and dom. 7th. Pretty much the same with the Genesys XP - from a 'memories' list, punch a song number 1 thru 8. With both instruments, I most times add a fill with the foot pedal during the transition. I also use this method when changing tempos for the same tune - eg., some of the Prima tunes go from 6/8 to a fast jive/boogie/shuffle or whatever.
