The Great Keyboard Swap

As I’d mentioned previously I currently have 2 keyboards, and they both serve very different purposes. And, because we don’t have the space in our motorhome to leave both of them set up I have to switch between them every so often. Today was one of those days. (I need to add a note here: …

A Dream Realized!

I’ve been playing my electronic keyboards since 1998, starting with a Casio WK1200. My parents bought me a Fender-Rhodes suitcase piano that was electronic when I graduated from college…but when I discovered on the Casio that I could put instruments and sounds together, and layer them, and record them to play back, I was astounded! …

Thursday Thoughts – Playing Keyboards

I got my first electronic keyboard in 1998. It was a Casio WK1200 and I was in awe of all of the sounds it made, the arrangements I could create, and the flexibility I had in playing any type of music authentically. It served me well for a number of years…then I discovered the Yamaha …

MUSIC POST Played On Yamaha PSR-S950

REJOICE! The Lord Is King! George Frederic Handel is my favorite composer (and Arrival of the Queen of Sheba my favorite of his works) of the Baroque era of music, and though he wrote this piece, the lyrics come from none other than Charles Wesley. Today is a great – no, perfect – day for …

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence VIDEO UPLOAD

I am playing this on my Sound Smith resonator tenor ukulele, with my Yamaha PSR-S950 keyboard. This is my favorite of the many variations on the original. Please remember I am sharing my love of music with my friends here, not performing for an audience. As I’m in the early stages of learning to play …

Lord Have Mercy (on Yamaha PSR-S950)

This is played on my Yamaha PSR-S950. It is not a performance, just playing this song the way my heart feels it for my online friends. Since I don’t have a recording studio and live in < 300 sq ft I can’t get away from the sounds in our home. You will hear Maisie chewing …

Oh How I Love Making Music!

I love playing, specifically, my keyboards. And my ukuleles. But today it’s about the keyboards. Because we don’t have space for me to have both keyboards (a Yamaha PSR-S950 and a Yamaha PSR-EW410) set up at the same time, every so often I switch them around. Each has its own charms and benefits, and neither …
