#497790 - 05/28/20 03:50 PM Theme from Forest Gump
travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Don't remember if I ever posted this one, but it is among my favorites. Feather Song was played in various forms throughout the movie, Forest Gump. Bet I watched that moved a half dozen times.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	I just sat down at my trusty S-950, selected a style from the Movie & Show section, Movie Ballad, set the tempo, then worked my way through the variations. I used the onboard grand piano and strings, playing the song as I remembered it from the cobwebs of mind from watching the movie. I recorded it using the onboard USB recorder, which precludes any editing, then loaded it into Audacity and converted it to an MP3 file. Piece of cake. All the best, Gary Edited by travlin'easy (05/28/20 04:58 PM) _________________________ PSR-S950, TC Helicon Harmony-M, Digitech VR, Samson Q7, Sennheiser E855, Custom Console, and lots of other silly stuff!

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Thanks everyone, for the compliments. I'm still working on the Jimmy Buffett song, One Particular Harbor, but finding the vocals very difficult with my limited lung capacity. With any kind of luck, I will be able to complete it within another week or two.

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	Thanks guys, I really appreciate comments from my friends in the Sunshine State of Florida. How I wish I had just a smidgeon on your musical skills and talents. Your comments mean so very much to this old codger.
