It's really good, but I think you could slow it down a few bpm and it would flow better. Looks like a nice event, congrats!

Very nicely done! I had no problem at all with the tempo. In fact I like your take on the song. Now your shirt.........that's another story entirely! :wink:

So, what is that cute little keyboard you're playing? It has a nice Wurlitzer quality to it.

Thanks all!

That is an original Wurlitzer 270 Butterfly baby grand. It has the same guts as the gigging model, the 200a. The butterfly is designed to stay at home. I have both models. Since this was such a special event for my special sister-in-law I decided to make the extra effort to bring the beautiful home model. It is all wood. It is about a '79.

I dug this up on Wikipedia.
Butterfly Baby Grand

The 200 uniquely had a domestic sister model 270 called the "Butterfly Baby Grand", a semicircular, walnut finish wooden-cased piano with twin quadrant[disambiguation needed]-shaped lids angled above horizontally-mounted 8" loudspeakers. This was among the last Wurlitzers produced, and is very difficult to find. It is also the heaviest Wurlitzer ever produced.

Nice job, sounds good but I agree it would have been better slowed down a bit. Love the Wurly...wish I could play mine that well...I'm no keyboard player though...

Finally got the chance to watch and listen - nice job, Paul. You could be making some good money on the weekends playing at wedding receptions!
