Maybe because the style itself is not originally composed?

Soldier Boy, I think that was also a song by the Shirelles back in the 60's, ....If my memory is ok.....I loved it back then...

It's not the same song Lee by the Shirelles....?

Soldier Boy

And we now have Soulja Boy too..

IF I MAY ... TO TRY TO CLARIFY - and I am using Donny's quote only to clarify my responses ...

Below are the posts relative to what I believe has led to a misunderstanding of what I was trying to say:



As Rikki correctly surmised, Uncle Dave and I were answering Donny's question about 'composing' when playing an Arranger Keyboard ... If I'm playing "Misty" as a Bossa Nova, I'm not composing a song, but as UD said, I'm arranging someone else's composition ...
However, if I am using a style, multi pads, voices, whatever on an Arranger Keyboard to COMPOSE a song of MY OWN, then I am composing an original song ... So to those of you who have done so (including myself), fear not, YOUR songs are still original compositions ...
It certainly is not my intention to impugn the creative genius or reputation of anyone who writes his/her own music/lyrics regardless of what medium they are using to do so.

My apologies for any misleading statements and also for taking this thread further SOUTH !!!

Not that Soldier Boy, which I know about. I wrote my own Soldier Boy.

Hey t,

np my man - you're the best...…..let's all put our original work up here. Now that would be something! Arranger play or not

I'm getting old.....2 gig days are wearing this body out.

Here you go, zuki. Here's an original of mine called I Found Love. Keyboard is my old Korg i30 in Style Play with a style called Tikitikita (I think). It's a one take keyboard track and a one take vocal track. I added a bit of reverb to the vocal.

Weird, Donny. It's working for me.
