OK, in the interest of public flagellation, I offer up a kinder, gentler version of this seminal classic for your careful dissection. This time out, I used a Grand piano in the RH, Acoustic LH manual bass, and a very generic 4/4 ballad drum style. I tweaked the harmonies to sit (set?) better in the mix (they are triggered from my RH chords), raised the drums and bass for all you who like the bigger boomy sound, and voila! Here it is ... enjoy! (fingers crossed)

I'll start - the lead vocal is WAY too loud. Geeze ..... What was I thinking?!?!?!? In my headphones, it was kinda nice, but then ... who doesn't love the sound of their own voice, am I right? lol

I like that, Dave ... Yes, the background could have been more up front - or the vocal lower, but I think no matter how you perform this classic, your audience will love it ...
I would also like to hear you sing this with just acoustic guitar - like, really laid back ...

As you pointed out yourself Dave the balance ain't quite perfect but with this accompaniment listening is a pleasure on the ears all the same.
Me too wondering where the piano sound originates from, is the SX-900 ?
Thanks for sharing,

regards
John

You’re all very kind, thank you. So, the piano is the SX. The first one that comes up.
