A little analog for Synthzone. I recently got to perform Rhapsody In Blue in concert. 40 years in the making. Next concert when I'm 92.
Rhapsody in Blue George Gershwin, Setting by Donald Hunsberger Delaware Valley Wind Symphony Steve Sweetsir - Conductor Robert Glatzer - Piano Soloist 2/27/2016 @ Cairn University
And a piece of mine called Rhapsody Blues, that was motivated by my prep for the concert.

Beautifully performed, Robert ...
Brings back memories for me too, but not necessarily good ones ... Many years ago I accompanied my accordion instructor to Canada to judge an accordion competition ... after hearing about 20 accordion orchestras play "Rhapsody in Blue" I could not listen to it for a long time ... I enjoyed your "Rhapsody Blues" very much also ...

Russ: I used to have a Tyros 2. Sold it and got a Roland FP-80 piano as I am doing mostly straight jazz and classical gigs. Maybe will get an arranger again some day. It was a great tool to have.
