A couple of months ago I saw my favourite female singer,Dana Winner perform in my home town. At the end of her show she did this fabulous song accompanied only by piano, probably a true Steinway cause it sounded fabulous.
I was slightly aware that the song had become famous due to the rendition of Adele but was ignorant about the fact that it is in fact a Bob Dylan composition.
I tried and convinced our eldest daughter to record it with me and here is the result.I still remain a keyboard player at heart so one has to make some allowances for my piano playing which was actually done with the 15 year old Yamaha P80.( including background strings). My musical buddy Carlo added bass guitar and did the final mastering as well as the video.
We owe him our gratitude ! Hope you enjoy this interpretation.

John thanx for sharing it,s always a pleasure to perform & record music with the kids...
just makes it that much more special.

Thanks Donny,

This kid by the way today celebrates her 25th birthday and has flourished into a lovely and independent young woman....
Although I have recorded countless songs with my arranger keyboards of which most of you have heard at least some, I figure this "simple " excercise on the old yamaha P80 combined with Anouk's voice and Carlo's efforts ranks among my personal best.
One of these months I am going to give the Roland FP30 a trial run and see whether it will be able to enhance my piano playing.

John, she has a very nice voice, and the song sounds great. Thank you for sharing!

Its always great making music together with others, and i must say i like the singing of your daughter...

I even like this one better..



It doesnt make me compare her with the Adele version.. Because i am so much in love with the warmth of the voice of Adele, thats quite unfair to her...

I dont think she is a professionally trained singer, which makes her performance even better... I would love to hear her sing trough the Korg Pa4x vocaliser... that might just give some awesome results...

John ... that is really nice ... thank you for sharing ...

As Donny says, making music with the kids is always great ... I am going to have to record some things with our oldest (18 yrs in May) granddaughter ...

Always great to hear people sharing their talent!

Here's the version my wife and I did for a Valentine's Dinner a few years ago.

Love it Johnathan. I remember seeing it a few years ago!

Great presentation John.

Thanks Don!!

Jonathan,
The heat is on here with the PA4X , the Montage and possibly the new ketrons, though I would not hold my breath as regards the Ketrons.....

The song we both recorded is an absolute jewel and the only version so far that I did not like is the one by the maestro himself. Outstanding composer, lousy singer. (oeps.... I have said it)


What I am finding more and more remarkable is the "piano story" for lack of a better word. I recently played both the PA3X and PA4X extensively and obviously the 4X has the better piano. But I heard nobody complain about the piano sound in my daughter's video ( the 15 year old Yamaha P50 with an overall Rom memory of 13 Mb ). I seem to recall that the Korg Chrome , budget workstation) has a piano sample of 1 GIGABYTE,but I have heard few if any set great store by its sound. Now I know there is nothing as personal and as difficult as a piano sound/sample, but it seems to me that most arranger keyboards purposefully decline the inclusion of an outstanding piano sample for fear of wrecking their own (electric/stage) piano market. Of course the fact that most electric pianos these days have some form of weighted keys contributes significantly to the sound as well. Still I find it astonishing that a 1000MB sample is only slightly better sounding that an 8Mb sample.....


regards,
John

P.S. I loved the live feel of your rendition but I prefer Make you feel my Love to be very serene, quiet but intrusive all the same............

In addition to Make you feel my Love my good friend Carlo has revised the two other songs that I recorded with our daughter hence completing this " trilogy ". Bass was added to all recordings and Fields of Gold has a completely new video.
