Gary, sure would like to hear your friend Walter take a crack at that piece. Lee _________________________ Lee S.

I discovered the song from the movie which I probably saw a half dozen times by now. That film was fantastic. Underrated, in my opinion, but not really a movie for modern times...not enough sex and too much fairy-tale romance. I also like that genre of songs (including Windmills of Your Mind....An Affair to Remember...Theme from the Apartment). I listened to Richard Claderman play Adeline a few times now. What an absolutely gorgeous song! Rikki...if you need it, I have the full sheet music for Somewhere in Time.

rikkisbears Senior Member Registered: 12/22/02 Posts: 6020 Loc: NSW,Australia	Hi Mark, fabulous tune , isn’t it. I ended up going thru all my old John Barry recordings. Some really beautiful music , most of it , piano and strings. Unfortunately not a lot of it seems to be available in sheet music. Summer of 42, is another really nice one. Enya’s Watermark. I gave, most of my old sheet music away, but I kept all my Clayderman Albums plus a few other individual tunes. Majority arpeggio left hand. Somewhere In Time I don’t think I’ve ever had. We should have a chat. Maybe send me a pm when you have some free time. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

I remember the term somewhat but I'm vague on the definition. Where I live "free time" is a luxury....and especially when you're trying to get in music practice every day. Only kidding, of course. Just wanted to say, a couple of years ago, when you were working with those Roland styles for me, I didn't realize you were liking the same music as me. I like everything (except folk music) that I label as "emotional," music that attacks you in the gut. You also made me think...possibly we're an endangered species. You mentioned arpeggios. It's a coincidence because, although I love the piano, I went to another level of appreciation for it when I started on my crusade six months ago to learn to play left hand arpeggios fluently (like Ms. Rockhill does in the video of Dream of Olwen). There is nothing as enchanting as listening to the laying down of one note over another on a piano. Not just an arpeggio...even just a chord. Summer of '42. Forget to mention that one. It's another song that sends chills up my spine! Mark

saxxman Senior Member Registered: 10/15/05 Posts: 1433 Loc: Niceville, FL USA	Thanks for the shout-out Mark! You have a real great list of songs for sure! Love them all! The wife and I started our marriage playing the songs from "Goodbye Mr Chips". Leslie Bricusse songs like "You and I" and "What a Lot of Flowers". She used to accompany me on our (suitcase) Fender Rhodes. A monster to haul to a gig, but a wonderful instrument to experience for sure. Thanks again for the comment! _________________________ ------------------------------------- Randy PA4X, SX900 (Baby Genos), Roland U-20, L1 Compact, Way 2 Many Saxes "My computer beats me routinely at chess - but it's NO MATCH for me at kick boxing!"

So anytime, get in touch, as I mentioned I did keep some of my favourite sheet music, nearly all arpeggio type left hand. It wasn’t the right type of style to learn, but it was pre arranger days , I then had to start from scratch and learn to play chords. Haha I don’t think we ever discussed what type of music we did enjoy at the time. More’s the pity. It is surprising how many seem to enjoy it too. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022
