#204098 - 07/05/03 11:11 AM Need 50s Ballad Style
deatonent Member Registered: 05/28/00 Posts: 292 Loc: Tazewell, VA, USA	I was in jr. high & high school in the 1950's and remember the great sounding ballads like "Tell Me Why" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" by groups like The Four Aces. However, it seems that many 50s ballad styles are based on a triplet feel such as "A Summer Place". What I'm talking about is the gentle shuffle feeling i.e. Doomba, Doomda, Doomba, Doomba. The only thing that I've found even close to this is variation D of the "Lounge Piano" style in the Tyros for PSR2000 Bonus 4 set. I'm playing for two different 50s class reunions soon and need to play several of these type songs. Thus, I could use several styles of this type if available. I have a Yamaha PSR2100 and a Yamaha 9000 Pro. I would rather have styles that are "tweeked" for the PSR2100 but any would be welcomed. Thanks, Deaton

It's set up for the PSR-2000, therefore, it will play just fine on the 2100.

deatonent Member Registered: 05/28/00 Posts: 292 Loc: Tazewell, VA, USA	*PLEASE NOTE* I used "A SummerPlace" (12/8 triplet feel) as an example of what I do not need. I'm looking for a "soft shuffle" for the 50s ballads. It's like you're saying "boom-da, boom-da, boom-da, boom-da." Thanks, Deaton [This message has been edited by deatonent (edited 07-05-2003).]

Just turn off all the brass parts. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info
