Thank you for sharing. Great pic too. Youth!


Thank you Zuki but your wrong about the keyboard and youthful part too!
I guess a French barrette and sun glasses can take years off you!

Thanks Stephen. Just thought I'd let you know that you inspired to study solo piano. I got a long way to go, but I'm enjoying it!

PS - great photo too!


Thanks so much, Manuel will be happy to hear a pro sax player like you enjoyed it!

By the way the picture was taken last summer on the Seime River in Paris. With matching French barrettes, you'd never guess we were tourists, right? smile

I sometimes play this song with a latin rhythm, and then switch to the Disco style with which it was popular in the 70's ...
Thank you


Yes, Tony you are correct on the English language title. I'd really like to hear your Latin/disco version!

He reminds me a lot of the guy that plays with my little group (sweet and tasteful). Also, your wife's voice is just perfect for this tune and this arrangement.

Wow, what a nice thing to say Chass. Unfortunately I may take that for granted, but thanks for the reminder! Nothing is better than "la familia y música"

Didn’t want to try and focus on trying to pick the style, takes away from the enjoyment of listening to a great overall performance.

Ok, so which keyboard was it . Haha


Thanks for listening Rikki. I bet you could identify the keyboard, I think you have owned the same brand....
