as requested. This was performed using his PSR-675, and from my perspective IT IS SUPERIOR in every aspect and movie quality. WOW!

Click Here to play Somewhere In Time by Walter.

Enjoy,

Gary cool

Thanks Harold. When I listened to my friend Walter's rendition, I was overcome with emotion. Now, I have to bring it up on my wife's PC - I think she will feel the same as I. He is so incredibly talented and gifted.

All the best,

Gary cool

Hi Gary,
very nice version. Did he actually sequence additional tracks or was it purely a style

Gary thank you for sharing....
I hope to hear you give this song a try also sometime
when your feeling better.Hope I am allowed to request that without
getting ridiculed again like last time by a few....
I have never heard it until it was mentioned on the SZ.
Have a Happy Holiday buddy!

Thanks Gary! Walt did a great job on this rendition. It is a song that should be played more frequently for sure. Loved the movie and the song should live forever! Thanks for posting!

Excellent and on a PSR-675..........as Paul writes “ it’s not the keyboard it’s the keyboardist.”

Riki, he created the song from scratch, one track at a time using the midi- sequencer, then converted it to an MP3.

My wife listened to the song and was astounded to say the very least, and she too felt emotional when she got about halfway through the song.

Donny, with all my health problems growing progressively worse, I find it difficult just to sit down at the keyboard and play at all. Just about every time I try to sing, or play, something seems to go dreadfully wrong. I am struggling to put together a rendition of Amazing Grace as an instrumental, a song that is frequently played here with bagpipes during a funeral procession for a fallen police officer, of which there seems to be a lot of lately. I'm not sure I can do it, and I played this song on a regular basis just 3 years ago before my retirement.

Thanks again for the comments and taking the time to listen guys and gals,

Gary cool

Gary- thanks again for posting a great version of this song. Godspeed on your health issues and we all are pulling for you to play Amazing Grace with the style and "Grace" as you have always done! Hang in there Gary!

Steve- ÷1 on your statement. The higher price/quality boards are a definitely a dream to own as I have experienced myself, but even a Casio can make beautiful music if you focus on its strengths.

Gary,
WOW,,,,thanks so much, I was one that requested it...and I'm not disappointed! And I like a lot of his others too...great talent.
I am inspired that what I ask can certainly be done and done well!...hope for me to eventually be able to do something similar.

Hope things improve on your health issues.
I'm 71, getting old if you have problems is no fun (I've had a few too) ...hang in there...

Lee

Thanks Lee. I was confident that Walter would do a fantastic job on this song and he really nailed it, IMO. If you listen to the other songs on the page, you will hear some incredible renditions, all created from scratch using the S-675.

All the best,

Gary cool

SX900 owners...is there female and male voices similar or better on the SX?? Not the scat stuff I know that's there.

Thanks Gary, had a feeling he couldn’t have recorded that, just using a style.
Well done indeed.

Actually proves another point, one doesn’t necessarily, need, latest, greatest and best to sound good.

Some of us just want new toys. Haha

Hi Lee ,
Not that I could find. Maybe someone else may have more luck. Not sure I what voice he used.

Did find a pack with a soprano voice.
https://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/vse/concert-choir-psr

Not sure if it would be suitable for sx. Someone mentioned the other day the Yamaha site was coming up with some strange recommendations as to what Pack is best for sx.

That was gorgeous. I don't have the patience nor skill to do something piece by piece like that. Impressed by strings for Yamaha..
