One thing you may notice from my featured first 10 tracks is the wide variety of ideas, music and instruments . . . with over 60 years since first music lesson.
Musically I'm enjoying both new feelings with the pristine Yamaha Digital Piano perfection; and "old" feelings with the very old electronic organ by Technics (Panasonic). Also Piano Accordian and various keyboards by Casio and Yamaha. Old Electronic Organs give me a warm feeling from years gone by in particular, and I have played everything from the Hammond Tonewheels to long-forgotten budget brands - "the good, the bad, and the darn right ugly" . . . Pianos, I have played everything from Bechstein and Bosendorfer to "firewood" ! One piano in particular - a slightly out of tune upright with a huge output called KNAUSS (a long gone gone German manufacturer) remains in my bloodstream almost, - being the very first I was employed to play at a church hall in Heaton Norris, Stockport, England at age 14 for children dancing . . . this gave me a feeling of being valued and noticed in early life. I guess this page must sound like a Museum to some! - but it's me, and I wish YOU all the very best whatever you are doing . . .

Story behind the song
On the white digital piano (actually 2019 but let's call it now) - and 1979 at Pontins Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park Lounge Bar in 1979. Life was very different back then - I smoked profusely and drank profusely as did so many people. I was very happy, as in a serious relationship with my wife to be, Susan (yes we are still in a serious relationship all these years later). By end of 1980 I'd given up pro. piano playing and we had made a positive start into our new MAGIC entertainment business. There were sadnesses, as my mother died shortly afterwards, but we moved house within 4 years to an upmarket area, had two sons - and the rest? well, time goes by. The old tape of 1979 I worked really hard to get into MP3 format was saved by Susan's mother who passed away in 2017.

Great rendition of a true classic tune Tony. A really good idea to combi the two recordings. All the best for 2020.
