I love the part at 1:50

Sound quality is very good. It sounds like "Summertime" is one of the old songs you mix in there.

Thanks for posting!

Love the video. It has a really cool vibe. The tunes I recognized were 10= 22... America The Beautiful 1:29... the sound track of a chase scene in "2001 A Space Odysee" and 4:10.."Shenadoah" Don D.

Enthralling adventure into melody and timbre. A nice way to start my listening day.
And I agree with Don about the vibe of the video-- something in the-- low light?-- resolution of the image very much pulled me in.

Thank you Brian, Todd, and Kevin,

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. As for the songs . . . Don, you are correct on "America the Beautiful" -- I played the first three or four notes, but it wasn't intentional. I had no idea that I had played that until I saw the video.

As for the "intentional" songs, here's a clue -- one is a civil rights-era gospel tune that has been recorded by Nina Simone and Roberta Flack. The other two were songs by a female singer/musician/song composer who was popular in the late sixties and early seventies who died in 1997.

OK y'all, give up? I give up. I think that some of the melodies I play are not as recognizable as they could be. With time I tend to sort of change them to my own tastes and then forget that they've changed.

Here's what's on the short video:

-- a couple excerpts of free improvisation,

excerpts from:

-- my piece "And I Await the Resurrection of the Pedal Steel Guitar"

-- the spiritual "I Told Jesus" (which was recorded by Nina Simone and Roberta Flack)

-- "He's a Runner", written by Laura Nyro

and

-- "Save the Country", also written by Laura Nyro.

Have a good day,
Susan

Though not intended, thaks for including "America The Beautiful". The subconcious is a wonderful thing. Don D.
