Finally, after a medical prodecure in Belgium and lots of other business, I'm having time for Abba again. Just recorded the second fast strings track to my by-ear sequencer version:
Here's one of the newest songs, Keep an Eye on Dan, just released a few days ago. I took notes by ear today and recorded a spontaneous piano version. I like the end, innuendo to "SOS"

Crossover is a talent to herself. I am not familiar with ABBA, but her playing and her posts are unique. They add flavor to our forum.
Memorizing songs for me is a must. You can’t read and play your best until the song becomes part of you. That means memorizing; the same with the lyrics.
Crossover, please to post and play.
Oh, and yes, add a smile on occasions, John C. (smile)
Hard to imagine how anyone could have missed them in the 70’s! Yes, this go round seems to mostly enthuse old fans, but once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, they really were the biggest band in the universe! ♥️🎹😎

Diki, when you reach 90, there many things you do not remember. During the 70's my band was booked at weddings and parties -- three to four jobs each week. Big band, Latin, sing-a-long, and some disco and some rock.
