I wish to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the members who requested a copy of my Sequences. The response was truly overwhelming and the kind comments from all of you are really appreciated.
I regard it as a privilege to be able to allow others to listen to my work, through the facility of this great forum.
Due to the encouragement which I have received from many of you, I hope to do a 'Songs 4 U Vol.2' in the near future.
Thank you all once again - you have made February 2002 a very special month for me

Bill, MANY thanks for taking the time to convert your songs to MP3 format so we can ALL hear them.

I definitely can tell you come from a background as a drummer as evidenced by your great sense of timing & rythmic feel. I particularly enjoyed your solos. Very nice melodic variations. 'Nightingale in Berkeley Square' is a favorite of mine especially because I live in the 'town' of Berkeley (abeit California, USA) . Very nice rendition.

I only have one constructive comment to make: I noticed that the 'melodic phrasing' in your horn/wind instrument solo parts did not take into account what a live horn player needs to do: Breathe!

Though I enjoyed your instrumental solos a lot, many of the phrases seemed to go on into the next one etc etc. Without wanting to appear critical, I might suggest (to better emulate how a wind instrument player would need the time to take a breath between phrases), that you end a phrase, taking your hands off the keyboard and/or foot off the damper pedal before beginning the next phrase.

Bill, your music is perfect for that intimate romantic 'after hours' evening. BRAVO. Hope to hear more from you.

Bill,

Just got your songs over the weekend. Thanks for the fast response. The songs were very listenable and well done. Thanks so much. I like them so much that I shared a copy with the owner of the store where I purchased my 6500. Looking forward to also attending a concert at the store this Wed. by Dom Chichetti, a Technics kbd. pro. He will be playing the 6500 and PR1000. Should be awesome.

Tim: Dom is an excellent Technics keyboard artist. I saw him perform at NAMM (along with Chris Halon) last year.I know you'll really enjoy his performance. Perhaps you can get him to spill a few beans about the upcoming KN7000, though I'm sure he's swore to secrecy and will probably have to remain tight lipped. - Scott

Scott,

I think Bill has discovered the art of breathing in thru his nose while blowing that horn !!!

Peter

.... hey, if kenny g can learn circular breathing, why not a drummer/keyboardist ?!?
t.

Hey Guys - I play by ear so that's what I breath through !
Seriously though, Scott has a very good point and it is one which I have advocated in the past - 'If you are playing Sax - Think Sax!' I just got carried away and forgot about it! (Must try Harder!!)
Thanks for your comments Scott - really appreciated.

Bye for now.....
