Fellow Zoners – I put down my saxes long enough to record a video of me playing “Rainbow Connection” on the Tyros 2. If you are a Kermit fan (or just want to see me groping over the keys!)… here’s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq3qNxor5l0&feature=channel_page

Just hooked up my little webcam a week ago and still trying to optimize the vids. Any and all comments welcome.

What inspires me so much about arrangers is that just a dozen or so years ago, I had to tether 2 keyboards, 3 sound modules and a drum machine together to get this kind of capability. The technology has indeed come a very long way since then. I am but a work in progress but in the final analysis - just so #$@# glad to still be here to experience it.

Happy Spring to y’all!

Randy

You may have to change your 'signature' to "keysman" ... ...
nice work ... very pleasant ...
I may have to add this to my CC repertoire and see if anyone catches it ...

Hey Guys - thanks for the comments! Synth Zone is definitely been a great "school" for me. I read myriads of the your posts and they have been instrumental in giving me a wealth of insight. And listening to all you pros also gives me the motivation to keep working, which I will certainly be doing.

Love playing the sax for sure. But I also very much enjoy the arranger. Once the yard work's done, the wife usually doesn't mind me spending most of my free time making some form of music and for that I am grateful too.

Thanks again for the comments and hope your week will be a great one!

Randy

LOL - I thought for sure you were going to put that arranger on auto pilot and fire up the sax - darn! But it was good playing on the keys Thanks for sharing.

Randy, I enjoyed your keyboard playing – But I love your sax playing, fantastic. Your intonation and feel is worth a trip to see you.

There are few sax players like you, John C.
