Townesy Takes a Walk

[jwnicholson78]

I wrote this blues and boogie piece for piano a couple years ago, but wanted to re-record it to see if I could do it better.  It took me a couple of months to work it up to the speed I really wanted to play it at.  I hope you enjoy it!

Appreciate it!  Actually this was played on a Yamaha Clavinova digital piano.  I recorded the video with my camera and midi on the piano, and then took the midi to my PC and rendered it using Native Instruments The Grandeur.  That way I don't have to complete quiet when I'm recording, which impossible in a house with 11 year old and 13 year old boys anyway!  ?

Lots of moods and lots of fun. At first the melody sounded like the Cruella De Ville theme from 101 Dalmations. Terrific playing!

Thanks!  I couldn't remember the Cruella theme so I had to google it to check it out.  I can hear the similarity a little!

Very good playing, doesn't look like an easy one to play, really nice.

[Wookiee]

Nice, like a little boogie, played in a band the keyboard player was into his boogie he and I would have a little jam much to the annoyance of the rest

Thank you.  I have a habit of writing pieces that are just a little more than I can play, so it takes me a while to work them up to speed.

Thanks Wookie.  Who could get annoyed at a little boogie jam?
