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
Play Misty For Me was an outstanding movie directed and starring Clint Eastwood. He used Erroll Garner's Charts Hit Piano Solo of "Misty" as the request music played night after night by a female with severe mental and violence problems. Hey, just watch the movie - you'll not forget it. Garner was a Jazz Legend, a totally unique pianist with a totally unique style and a pleasant presentation. His music has recently been worked into a piece by "Adele" called "All Night Long". When I first heard this my heart almost came into my mouth!! beautifully mastered into Adele's recording.
