You're gonna have Ian singing Country before long!
They did an acapella rendition of the National Anthem a few weeks ago. Outstanding!

Hey Don...I don't sing Country, but I love playin' it. My jammin' buddy is a really good Country guitarist, and we have a great time at the jam, throwin' in a Merle Haggard tune amongst all the R & B the other guys like to play.

I love playing Country piano, as the technique is so different from Pop and Rock...definitely a case of "less is more" for the most part.

My buddy used to say, "Sprinkle a little pie-an-ee over the top."

I'll be Home For Christmas is incredible. Man, that guy has some voice!

Ian

Well, I did the song at work and the Boss and his wife loved it. They had requested I do it. Got a standing ovation. Of course I didn't do it until late when most customers had left, just in case I screwed it up.
I believe it will be fine after I do it a few more times. It's a wonderful Christmas song.
Thanks for the help. If I get a decent recording I'll post it, but of course don't expect the Ceilo Green version!

As for CeeLo, not too many are going to sound like this ...
