Thanks! for the Music
By Ron Yost
Hello all!
I'd like to add my hearty THANK YOU to all involved for sharing "Painting the Town Red, White & Blue". What a WONDERFUL arrangement!!
The Piccolo track sounds really great played on the real Glockenspiel in my MIDIed Fair Organ. It really gets a workout! <One of the advantages of a MIDIed organ is the ability to play SEPARATE parts on different instruments.> For instance, the Glockenspiel doesn't have to be forever slaved to the Melody. Mine can play separate melody, counter-melody or just nice, occasional ornamentation, just like a real marching band. It's pretty neat, IMHO!
Boy, does that main melody track sound GREAT on loudly-voiced Bruder-scale Violins! WOW!!!! I'm *extremely* impressed (and very grateful), and I hope all of you are working on some more songs --- PRETTY PLEASE!!!
BTW: Stephen, are you the same Stephen Kent Goodman who had an exhibition of original 'Sound Sculpture' in Exposition Park in L.A. about 1977-78? I still have a ton of photos I took of that exhibit! It was extremely clever, and a real inspiration to me. If so, have you done any further work in that area? (I wonder what became of Stephen Von Hume? Another 'Sound Sculpture' pioneer. His 'Kinetic Dog' audio-sculpture in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection is really great.)
I'll be posting some of my work with original Fair Organ music, too, if I can get the bugs out of my e-mail system!
*Very* grateful for the music. Thanks again, guys!!
