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 . . .
