The violinist is my brother. It's a Jewish song played with a country style, and accordian accomp.

Hi Zalman: Nice festively spirited jewish music performance. Observation: I notice that, though you generally use your left-hand to reach for & select arranger buttons on the left side of the keyboard, on one occasion (near the end of the clip), you used your right-hand to reach clear across to the left-side of the kb to make a button selection/setting change. The reason I ask is because, I too play with both hands, relying on the left hand to not only trigger chord recognition, but provide rhythmic keyboard comping (with left voice on) as well, and it's often difficult (sometimes immossible) to avoid leaving the the keys too long, when selecting left side arranger buttons with the left hand. I too find myself occasionally having to reach over to the left side buttons, with my right-hand, which can appear a little awkward looking from a viewer's perspective. Thanks for sharing your Tyros1 music clip. I encourage more sz members here will post video clips of them performing as well. It adds a nice visual dimension to our music performances.

Zalman,

Excellent. I would assume you and your brother might also do Klezmer?

Great job, jam on,
Terry

Thanks all for the kind compliments.

L'chaim VeLivrocho Dnj!

Scott: I was wondering whether someone would comment on that ;-) - I can't actually remember what I was reaching for, but it was probably the Fill-In, because my left hand was occupied with chord changing as you point out. Listening to the clip, the priority probably should have been with the accordian and not the fill-in. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've actually stopped using the LH voices because of that problem - it sounds unmusical when you have to lift off for a fill-in. (I know some use the foot-pedal for fill-ins for that reason)

Terry, yes we do indeed play Klezmer, and it's probably our favourite style too. (The song we actually played here was from a Jewish composer Shlomo Carlebach, which actually isn't very Klezmer-like, but still very Jewish sounding)

Zalman
