I performed for a very nice senior group at the Washington Heights Baptist Church two weeks ago and they've made the program available from their website. Click on the link below, then click on the "Listen Here" link just under the second of two pictures they have of me. Program runs about 40 minutes and had several styles of music included. Big band, classic country, pop, gospel, etc.
I wouldn't say I had my "A" voice that day as we got back form vacation the night prior. The recording was done from the Church's board which grabbed my audio output via a few mics around the sanctuary.
In case anyone is interested in what equipment I used, Tyros 2, Digitech Vocalist Harmonizer, Bose L1...
Is there any drums at all on any of that? I could hear the voice, and the pianos or lead sounds, but boy! That drummer is getting paid for being inaudible! Pretty good gig, if you can get it... LOL

Thanks for sharing your work with us Bill. I really enjoy getting to hear my follow keyboard brethren out there “in the trenches” as Donny often says. You have a wonderful voice, interesting selections, expressive keyboard playing, and very effective on stage banter. It’s clear that your audience really enjoyed your program and I see why you are staying busy.
I’m not sure that I agree with the comment on the drums being too soft. Keep in minding you’re playing at a church (not a dance) for elderly folks, playing music from an era where drums weren’t hot in the mix; I’d say you got it just right.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. To Diki's comment on the drums being too soft, Perhaps something was lost in the recording. I felt that a bit of my lower frequencies didn't make it to the recording.
