Most stuff I record, which is all instrumental, is romantic easy listening music, mainly for the listener to have on whilst having a late dinner or supper with the wife or girlfriend or guests. It's easier to talk while instrumental music is playing as opposed to vocal numbers. The beauty of the arranger keyboard is that we can do new versions of older tunes...I never mess with the melody, but the arrangements are changed. Sometimes I will do a 3/4 waltz time tune in slow swing or even Latin. It's still a lot of fun.

NOT THAT A REAL DRUMMER COULDN'T DO THE SAME THING !!! (for the 'purists' out there ) ... when playing for a dinner crowd in a restaurant at Christmas time, I've played 'Jingle Bells' and 'White Christmas' in almost every genre on the board ... _________________________ t.

I'll be playing this tune soon at an event. It was actually requested that we do it. Luckily, I'll have a good vocalist that will be able pull it off nicely. Not a hard tune to do with an arranger keyboard... _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3230 Loc: Dallas, Texas	Originally Posted By: Diki Trying just to listen and not be biased, but I have to admit, the Roland version is the one I like best so far... I'm a Yamaha player, and I agree. But still,either one will sound work fine with a great vocal and keyboardist.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	I would think this would be an easy song to perform, even for an old fart like me. Just need the proper style and some multi-pads. No need to record the guitar riffs - they're already in the keyboard.

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	Gary ... I really wasn't thinking about the difficulty, but what audience I would be playing it for ... If there are young people in the audience, I don't know what they're going to be thinking about ME performing this song ... I guess if you performed it for your upscale Jewish ladies group it would go over ... Let's just say it's not a song I would feel comfortable performing, for whatever reason ... BUT, I would play the original mp3 if the situation called for it ... _________________________ t.
