Praying for a rapid recovery!

Winter Wonderland was my father's favorite Holiday song. Sadly, he's passed on, but he enjoyed it when I played this piano solo that I arranged just for him. Happy Holidays!

Might be worth trying an Nvidia clean install. See this website for more info: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/

Excellent! One of my favorite Christmas songs.

Wife and I watched it last night and both thought it was creepily cool!

Thanks @Jim Fogle for your insights. I have 2024 Audiophile OmniPak (i.e., everything they offer) and am waiting for them to offer an upgrade discount for that package. PG Music support said it's coming, so if you're looking for the 2025 Audiophile OmniPak it should (hopefully) be available soon.

I find his analysis videos very interesting. If he wasn't "telling the truth" (i.e., scientifically showing that singers have been pitch-corrected, are lip synching, etc.) he would get sued into oblivion - no?

Great all-around performance but the lead vocal is uniquely spectacular.

Wow, I'm ashamed to admit that there are a bunch of songs that have been cited that I did not know (or have not heard in a looong time). There is so much great music out there - just wish I could write some of it... 🙃

Chopin Nocturne in E Flat Major? I know, a bit off topic, but it's kinda like a song...😁

Check this out - fascinating stuff on Bridge Over Troubled Water - and really cool if you're a keyboard player: https://www.berklee.edu/berklee-today/summer-2013/anatomy-of-a-classic-song

"Sail on silver girl" is a reference to his wife as far as I know.

That's a tough one...

Such a hidden gem. At over 7 minutes it was probably considered "too long" for mainstream. Bleh. As much as I love Elton's playing/singing, it's Bernie's lyrics that really shine. What a great story.

"Ticking" by Elton John / Bernie Taupin. It's an obscure one but I love it. Lyrics - AMAZING! Piano playing - GREAT (Elton is rumored to have sung / played it in one take live!?) The lyrics paint such a great story, and the (solo) performance by Elton is top notch as well. Give it a listen if you've never heard of it...

Nice mellow feel to it and I also liked the sax. Good job!

I agree!

I agree - the new "scrolling" FX Bin should be an option - not the default. Was this scrolling thing a popular Feature Request?? I'd like to hear from the Bakers what the rationale was behind this,

Great song and cool video! As a newbie to all this YT stuff - @whoisp did you make the video content yourself, or is it stock/royalty free stuff, or did you have a video creator make it for you? I've got so much to learn...

Very nice! Gave it a thumbs up on YT.

I'm surprised my parents survived me trying to learn the trumpet at age 12. Ooof.

@Max Arwood - looks like an install of V2 leaves V1 intact. I ran your script and it worked perfectly - a great time saver!!

I bought my Steinway B from the Dealer that was in charge of all the Steinways at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (mine came from the Victoria Theater). My teacher was well acquainted with the Manager, and I got to know him as well. I love the action of a true grand, and love to practice early (about 4:30 - 5am) - but needed to find a way to give my wife a chance to sleep! Since so many of my teacher's students had bought from the Steinway store I bought from, and they were one of the top performing Steinway stores, the Manager had enough sway and connections to get me an action (that was in perfect condition) from a 1928 Steinway that was brought to the Astoria, Queens NY factory for refurbishing - before the action was trashed. Steinway, per policy, would always cut up / destroy removed actions - seems they would sometimes "disappear" and end up in third-party refurbed Steinways. Used my background in woodworking to build a case to house the action and installed felt on the inside of the cover. The hammers produced a gentle "thump" when I play my "practice" Steinway - it is actually pretty quiet, soothing to play, and has the true feel of grand. Hearing just the rhythm of what I'm playing is also pretty cool. Plus, my wife is able to sleep past 5am!

Thanks @Max Arwood!! I have auto hotkey V2. I’ll try and tweak the script to run but I am clueless when it comes to programming.
