Chopin's Nocturne... I believe it is the one in B-flat, but don't quote me on that!

You know, even Maxi's very splendid Yamaha electronic keyboard, with it's 500 believable sounds all programed, still just doesn't cut it for me. I think it has 7 or 8 "piano" settings and it still just sounds electronic in a way that a real piano never does. But interestingly enough, the "human voice" is RATHER realistic!

Oh by the way, that is also my gripe about many CD's ... the "orchestra" in the background is electronic!
I think in terms of the piano, the electronic, synthesized sound loses the resonance of the real thing... all those undertones that make a piano keyboard sound so rich.

Hi there, Cinja Martha Stewart Wannabe!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all my friends down south!
OK, gotta ask....Why would you wannabe Martha Stewart? I've been slaving away in the kitchen for 2 days now getting a head start on Xmas baking. The baking is kind of fun but those dishes! ....The dog can't keep up!

Cricket ~ Nobody in their right mind would wannabe Ms. Stewart. That woman is certifiably insane... AND she isn't a nice person at all.
That's my humble opinion anyway.

Afgrey, as a pianist, what is your take on my opinion about the difference between a real piano and an electronic keyboard set to "piano"?

No comparison at all...there's nothing like the sound of a real piano. But, an electronic keyboard is a good thing to have if you don't have room for a baby grand...and you can learn how to play it...then when you get a piano...you'll already be half way there!

We do enjoy Maxi's big electronic keyboard. And, Yamaha is a reputable brand. But I somehow miss the fullness of sound one gets with a real piano.
He likes the keyboard too for it's very many sound effects. He writes stories and then beefs 'em up by adding the sound of footsteps, of screams, or underwater and outer space noises...
He has a ball being a DJ.
Plus, as big as his keyboard is, it is still portable.

We're going to see Nuno Bettencourt of the former "Extreme" group play tonight at a small private club in our hometown, where Nuno grew up as well and hung out with my sister colleen.
Does anyone remember extreme? "More than words", "Hole-hearted", "Flight of the wounded bumblebee" "Decadance" , "When I'm President" ,"Get the funk out"
Nuno was the genius lead guitarist and wrote almost all the songs.

Artist/Band: Haggard Merle Lyrics for Song: If We Make It Through December Lyrics for Album: For the Record: 43 Legendary Hits If we make it through December Everythings gonna be all right I know It's the coldest time of winter And I shivver when I see the fallin snow
If we make it through December I got plans of bein in a warmer town come summer time Maybe even California If we make it through December we'll be fine
I got laid off down at the factory And there timings not the greatest in the world Heaven knows I been workin' hard I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl Now I don't mean to hate December It's meant to be the happy time of year And why my little girl don't understand Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
If we make it through December Everythings gonna be alright I know It's the coldest time of winter And I shivver when I see the fallin' snow
If we make it through December I got plans of bein' in a warmer town come summer time Maybe even California If we make it through December we'll be fine

Bits of that song were running through my head all morning and I couldn't remember it all. Oh, what a voice that fellow has...
When I remember to turn the radio on, I listen to classical from 9 AM to 4 PM on NPR radio. It is very well-programmed, offering a wide variety of music, often presenting things not usually heard. Sometimes they will focus on a particular instrument as well and that is fascinating.
