I looked her up on Amazon. Lovely stuff but priced way out of my league.

Thanks Gary!
I just found her by accident and can see has heaps more youtube vids.
She certainly inspires me. Love her style on the keys. Very talented!

As you are leaving your summer we have just started our spring time. Very nice.

 

[happyrat1]

All's well that ends well...

I've ordered three of her CDs. She's definitely a keeper.

Good posts chaps!

"Caravan" just isn't the same without the drummer being verbally abused...hehe.

A knob twiddler and a full orchestra of trained musicians.

And a PMJ from this week's inbox...

Gary . . A very strange and unique sound from the orchestra. Unconventional yet musically enjoyable. I have never seen such an arrangement like that.
Pomster . . Both those tracks are classy. I have never heard either before. However I know of the artists OMD and Tears for Fears. They had a couple of big hits. Sometimes it is refreshing to hear other unknown tunes from famous bands.
Cheers ray.

Some nice keyboard sounds in this one.
Sadly we lost walter becker this week. co founder of steely dan.
Enjoy this tune.

Interesting bit of trivia...

Steely Dan took their name from the Dildo in William S. Burrough's Naked Lunch

This keyboard malarky takes a lot longer than i thought. Granted i've only had 6 lessons (7th today). My target is Children by Robert Miles R.I.P, my teacher reckons it'l be a few years before that will happen ... Maybe?

I think it's a beautiful piece of music

 

[Pomster]

Boogie rock lick seems a lot easier when slowed down, still a tricky blighter even trying with the left hand

 

[Pomster]

To write this song at just 13yrs old shows just how talented Kate Bush is

Had an almighty crush on her in my schoolyrs lol

As good as Maxwell is, its not a patch on the original

Keep chipping away Pomster! I'd say that piece is still a moderate distance down the road if you're at your sixth lesson now, there are some things going on with the timing and the right hand technique that are probably a little way off just yet - but stick with the lessons and the practice, and you'll get there at some point!

Your teacher will also give you some of the theory that underpins the songs you're learning, which will definitely help them "stick".

 

[Pomster]

Thanks Cowboy, i'm finding the more i learn the more interested I am, even on the theory side. I do practice a lot, more than they say i should but hey! I enjoy it so ....
My teacher says i'm breezing through book one (Michael Aaron piano course - lessons and technics) he says it takes usually around a year to complete
