Hi Scott,
seems you had a nice time together with Andrea in Californie.

------------------

Dirk (Notlos): Yes, Andrea & I both had a blast making music together. It was so cool to be able to just 'start playing (jamming)' the moment we met (with no prior rehearsal) and and make some pretty decent sounding music. We seemed to click musically from the start, both playing/singing classic standards like: Girl From Ipanema, Arreverderci Roma, Meditation, Just the Way You Are, Beatles, Latin, & Blues tunes, Misty, I Left My Heart in SF, and Route 66, just to name a few. I think we both learned a lot from each other during our time together. I showed him the jazzy rootless chord voicings (which he can now subsequently play on his SD1 ). I was impressed how he was able to pick up on the harmony of most tunes pretty quickly (by ear). This has encouraged me to focus now on improving more in this area as well.

One thing both Andrea & I noticed right away: After hearing each other perform live for each other, and then comparing it to our MP3 recordings posted on the web, it became 'immediately' evident that compressed MP3s do NOT do justice to the original performance. Mp3's really kill the spark & excitement (rhythmic groove that breathes) present originally. I remembered hearing some of Andrea's MP3 tunes over the internet thinking they sounded good (but not great), but now hearing them played live by him (in person), they now sounded terrific, like "Night & Day", (oh yeah, yet another song we enjoyed playing together).

Dirk, realizing what a jazz/latin afficiado & excellent kb player you are, I hope to someday have the priviledge of meeting and possibly playing music with you too. I think we really need to organize a European Synthzone get together now. I need an excuse to finally travel to Europe, or how about Brasil, Mexico, Louisiana, NJ, Alaska, FLA, Santa Barbara, LA, etc etc.

Of course ! Was I being disrespectful to the LIVING now??????

Hi Scott, I rate your website as a "save and return often". Keep up the music demos and the professional subscriptions to the Forum. Particularly liked the new video of you and Andrea but was far too short!!.:O Wonder if you also would have been happier to have faced each other during the performance - or is that too horrible to contemplate.

Eddie, Scott actually proposed me to move his Steinway to the opposite side of the room, but I told him that it was fine having his back turned at me.
