Nice track, but a rather simple arrangement of a simple tune and I'm not convinced the performer was playing all that we heard. There was some backing rhythm and some short inserts of piano counterpoint which he didn't appear to play.

More my line, however are the two renditions of 'Stardust' nearby, one from the old composer, Hoagy Carmichael himself. One of my 'top 50' is that very tune, normally included in a medley and my arrangement is adventurous, using rather a lot of the keyboard and getting harmonically juicy towards the end, so the old master's own rendition was very interesting to me.

Excellent! It's good to see an excellent instrument being played so well, and a good choice of piece to play.

Yes, Tom,

He did it all himself No tracking
Watch it a couple of times, you'll see
how he adds/removes 'voices'. He has
split keyboards where he can have
percussions on 'part' of the manual and
voices on the rest. That instrument is
equal to, if not better than, a WERSI Louve.

Unfortunately, I could not find a U. S. rep
for the company.

Then again, I couldn't afford one anyway
