with the Yamaha S-950's multi-pads, which is among the many overlooked features by most arranger keyboard players.

When my children were young, they loved watching the Muppets Shop on TV, and I'm sure I enjoyed it equally as much as they did. After talking with my daughter tonight, who is hospitalized with pneumonia, she inspired my to record one of her favorite songs: Kermit The Frog song, also known as It's Not Easy Being Green.

I didn't use a style, but instead, just used one of the multi-pads on my PSR-S950 and triggered the chords of the multi-pad using my left hand. I played my own intro using the same instrument on my right hand, so I guess it all worked out well. Here's my rendition of It's Not Easy Being Green

Any and all constructive criticism is welcome,

Gary sick

Enjoyed that a lot, Gary. I've been green with envy most of my life doing my best to emulate you, Donny and Mason... without much success! LOL!

Thanks guys. Ed, I talked with Laura this afternoon and she hope to be out of the hospital by tomorrow afternoon if her tests go well (fingers crossed).

Thanks again for listening and commenting,

Gary cool

Gary, your song warmed my heart. For me, it wasn't about the song, it's about the love you have for your daughter. I'm sure that will make her recovery even faster.

Life throws curve balls. My wife has been dealing with some health issues and will kidney surgery at the end of the month. We are confident all will turn out well.

Thanks also Tony for asking about me. I've been a bit removed with all the emergency hospital runs and moving to a new house too.....

The gigs are still going. I've cut down to about 200 for the year and continue to love the 8.2/3X.

Best to all in 2019
