Lexi, that takes me back to the purest female voice ever; Eva Cassidy:

The Beach Boys are pretty damn good too. I reckon you’re onto their best song:

The most interesting thing I found about that youtube Yabby was that you can basically create complex music on the Korg without even needing to touch the keyboard! The guy was hardly playing the thing at all and when he was, it was only a small complementary part of the output.

If I get one, I’ll be wanting to keep it pretty simple (in line with my simple brain and complete lack of musical experience), and work on composing stuff to complement my superb singing voice!! ( :> )

Dear Ludwig,

Eva Cassidy - amazing talent.
"Fields of Gold" is a favourite.

Sting - sings it beautifully as well.

Ludwig, Kay knows exactly how to programme his Karma section, given
that he invented it. So I guess he was trying to show its potential.

When I started 5 years ago, I could not play the keyboard. Out
of pure curiosity I went to a music store to listen to the Oasys in
action. I was so blown away with the sound, that I went to the
bank to draw up a bank cheque and went home with the Oasys, a stand
and a pair of monitor speakers to suit. Pure passion!

5 years later, I continue to play nearly every day and the passion
only grows, as I learn more and get better at it. Alot of it is
just playing split combis, where half the keyboard is say a sax,
the other half a combination of instruments and the harmony.

I'll probably be learning more until I fall off the old perch one
day, but its such an amazing sound every time I play and that
passion and buzz is what its all about, really.

But be warned, the operating manual is 200 pages and the parameter
guide is 1000 pages, so it will keep you busy for years.

Lexi,

'Fields of Gold' sung by Sting - heard it today in a shop ! Magic !

Nobody's mentioned Renee Fleming, with her exquisite, sexy voice. I hope my kids will play her CD while I'm dying, that's the way to go.

So much wonderful music and so many great performers ! Artie Shaw, Paul Robeson, Peter Dawson, Kathleen Ferrier, Marian Anderson, Stevie Wonder, John Denver, Richard Tauber, so many people who have contributed so much to human happiness. They define us but also enrich us and our appreciation for the beauty of the world.

I wonder why that creativity stopped in about 1985 ?

Sting sings beautifully??!!?? ( ;>#

Hold on…. I’ll just go outside and throw up!

Oh alright…. I guess he doesn’t do too badly in Fields of Gold!

Paul Robeson. Now THERE’s a voice!
