Hi Everyone,

Hello Everyone,

I recently had a chat with the hotel manager in Sassenheim and I managed to get a little discount for the group. They have plenty of rooms available at the moment and I have reserved about 20 just in case. He needs me to confirm the exact numbers in a few weeks so I need information from all of you as soon as possible.

Well I tried.....

Check out his hands. he's a heavy player!

This is an etude style piece, no improv, everything written out. I tried to include a couple dampening techniques here and there. Make sure you dampen the left hand notes at bar 36. There are some nice right hand octaves to play in bars 58 - 66. The arrangement utilizes block chord style sometimes and at other times a basic 2 part approach with the melody on top and a pseudo bass part below.

The tempo marking flexible. It seems to sound pretty good played a little slower or a little faster.

i cannot tell you enough how much i love this video with tony and diane.

They did a great job. i grew up listening to this song and hearing it on vibes and violin made it sound wonderfull. I have been trying to play the chords myself, but i cannot even come close.
This video really inspires me to have fun with songs you know.
thanks tony,

This is one spontaneous sample of my practice of this piece in solo style. I tried to start free and then more on pulse, but I think it sound too nervous sometimes. To mantein good tempo playing solo is one of the challenges!. Phrases are not too much defined, also. I have also some harmony and structure mistakes...well, next time will be better. Is my first video ;)

It's 7am (was) and I'm up. I decided to come down and work on the vanderPlas, it's making noise as you all know. Didn't happen. I can't stand in front of the instrument and not play it. I just don't have enough time. I get in front of it and think OK let's tighten this baby up. I play a couple notes, start into a tune and then think of something to work on. And that's it.

Don't forget the E
