Guys - thanks for listening and commenting!
Zuki - I plan to do a "split video" in the near future - Once I get the trick down w/my movie editor, I'll split the accompaniment on the T2 and the sax on the other side. Should be fun! In the meantime, I have put a few other (sax) video's out on the Youtube site.

John - I do so appreciate your words and I don't take them lightly. The sax is part of me and I will never get enough of it. Hopefully soon I will be beyond the government work and working from the soul every day! Thanks again for listening and the nice words!

Donny - Thanks! This is one of the first songs I played on the Clavinova - bought the clav for my wife and after a dozen nights til 3 AM with the headphones on, well I got addicted to it. So glad I did!

Thanks again guys!
Randy

Nice one, Randy...

Hi Randy

That was very enjoyable. Accordian is a nice sounding instrument when played right and you're doing a good job of it

Also listened to some of your sax videos, as a horn player myself, I especially like your tone, phrasing and inflection. That's what it's all about and you've got it. Only thing better than this is hearing you live which of course I've had the pleasure of doing

I noticed on one of the sax videos you did your own backing track. Nice. Are you doing all your own backing or do use midi's too?

Scott

What's a Midi?

Little longer than a mini, shorter than a maxi...

Or...

It's a late 20th century version of those MP3's you are using, Donny

Way to go, Randy.

R.

One of my favorite tunes...great job!

Ian

Donny...come on man you know...it's those little short skirts the girls used to wear. (some sill do)

You know..Midi Skirts! :-)

Guys - thanks again for the listen! Scott I have a few midi tracks in my playing list. I use a lot of Aebersold and Hal Leonard tracks and have done a dozen or so backing tracks. I also use some karaoke tracks (usually require editing to remove solos). For example, on the YouTube site, the "I'm in the Mood for Love" track is a Barbara Streisand karaoke track (which I removed the instrumental solo from).The "Rio De Janeiro" one was a home brew track that I did about 3 weeks ago and last weekend I did another track that I have always wanted to do by a sax player named Leo Gandelman (Brazil). I did a backing track of his tune called "Bossa Rara". Here's a link to just the backing track for 'Bossa Rara':

I also like the sound of the styles on the Korg PA series keyboards - I think they would be great for doing up smooth jazz backing tracks as well.

Randy
