I love the piano, when it used to express such a feeling as you described here.
I like the sound of the piano. Just enough reverb to make it sound like a live experience.
I'm gonna keep this one
thanks for sharing it...
nice playing
peace

I really appreciate your kindness. I love piano music too. Always been a good friend to me. Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I will be listening to some of your music later today and will return the favor. :) Looking forward to it. [ Reply to This ]
romance distilled &mdash 08/18/07 - 11:35:38 PM
how do you distill such sweeping feelings of longing, hope, and desire into improvised passages of notes like this? This is wonderful... and I detect a little less reverb in this than your previous two... so, does that mean that this one was recorded recently at your brother's studio, or is this part of the big original set he recorded for you? Thank you for sharing these gems, even if we do have to wait weeks between fixes :-) Your hubby is a lucky guy, hearing music like this all the time at home.

Aww shucks.... &mdash 08/19/07 - 09:05:08 AM
Drak you are the kindest guy. You always make me feel so good with your compliments. You are so encouraging to everyone at MacJams and I know that everyone loves you for it. If they don't well, they will be beaten severely. :)
Your detective skills though, well hmmm, this is still the same recording as the first. Maybe I took my foot off that stupid pedal more often. Still no more chances to record again yet, but soon I hope. You are right, my husband is a lucky guy. I remind him every single day! lol...
Thanks so much Eduard. You are the best! [ Reply to This ]
Top notch &mdash 08/19/07 - 05:00:11 AM
Some great piano playing here, some of the best I've heard, I think. Very emotional, with sensitive handling of the keystrokes - not just a lot of banging that some players insist on... Fav'd and DL'd, so THANKS!

Thank you very much &mdash 08/19/07 - 09:16:59 AM
I am a big fan of yours and I really appreciate your kind words. As you know, there is pretty music that can come from a piano, or any instrument for that matter, when a little emotion is added to it. It has made me feel better more times than I can count. Music for me, heals alot of things and brings out all types of emotions. Another reason I am so glad to be a part of this place. I am rambling again. :) Thank you again for listening. I look forward to enjoying more of yours! [ Reply to This ]

What a wonderful piece of music you have here. I can almost hear it being played with a symphony orchestra adding dynamics to it with strings and other voices.
Bravo and thank you for making such beautiful music for us to listen to.

I appreciate you coming by to listen and comment. I can hear the strings also in this piece as well as just about any piece I do. I am so sappy sometimes it's pathetic. Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it.
As far as you being "old and washed up" bah humbug.... Never give up on what you love. Music loves us back. Enjoy life as much as you can,regardless. I am looking forward to seeing you post some music so I can enjoy yours too.
Thanks again! [ Reply to This ]
Thanks for the encouragement &mdash 08/21/07 - 03:35:44 PM
I have one song submitted but it hasn't been cleared to an active status yet. It's nothing on the order of what you do, just something I threw together back in the 90's. When and if you get a chance to hear it, I hope you like it, but more importantly I need "REAL" feedback as to how to make it better.
Thanks for the shout out

Thank you for becoming a fan! I am thrilled that it touched you and I am even more thrilled that it touched your heart. You asked if you are too weak? Never!!! Emotions are a very personal thing. We each react differently and personally, I have a huge heart that feels everything....good and bad. There is no wrong or right in that. I prefer people that feel with their hearts openly, than those who pretend to be tough as nails. Keep that heart of yours...it sounds like a gentle one, and it fits perfect with your beautiful music.

Don%u2019t Go Away
Many wonderful comments by others already. My 2 cents echo the thoughts of others: sensitive playing; quiet emotions; a palpable sincerity. Very enjoyable to hear such tender playing. %u2026 I think others may have remarked on the reverb question. I, too, think there is an awful lot of it, but I don%u2019t know what your recording circumstances are, either. That has a lot to do with it. Just something to keep in mind. You mentioned in response to someone that you just %u201Cwent for it%u201D and nothing is written out. In a spirit of wishing to offer something constructive, maybe a sketch would keep you from wandering too much or repeating too much. There is no question that you have a great sense of %u201Cconversation%u201D in your playing. Just keep developing the syntax and the vocabulary. You have a lot to say and you are already doing it so well.
