B.J. Cole has recorded this on one of his albums: I think it was on "Transparent Music". It's so long ago, but I think he may have played it live at Scotty's in 1980. I'm sure he also played one of Satie's "Gnossienne" - possibly No.1.
B.J. played the "Moonlight Sonata" on a few separate occasions, on various years at my own Festival.

EEEEEUUUUUWWWWWW!!!!<SMALL>Makes me want to listen to classical music.</SMALL>
Why would you want to do that?
Seriously Roy, the web page doesn't work on my computer. Is there any other way you could post the music? Failing that, would you mind sending me the MP3? Maybe I can play it with quick time or I-tunes.
Somebody here in California, I think it may have been Ron Turner, also recorded the piece. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mike Perlowin on 20 February 2006 at 05:10 AM.]</p></FONT>

Roy, I don't see the link. Could you post it again, or send me the MP3. I have played Moonlight Sonata on piano, and have always thought it would make a great steel piece. But it would be a Herculean task to memorize it, or you would have to be able to read music really well on steel. I am interested in any of B.J. Cole's classical pieces on steel. Are any of them on currently available CDs, tapes or LPs?

B.J.'s 'Transparent Music" CD either has been or is about to be reissued. The CD contains several classical pieces, but not this one.
Randy Beavers does a fantastic interpretation of the theme from Beethoven's 9th sumphony on hos newest CD.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Mike Perlowin on 20 February 2006 at 02:24 PM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks David.
That is played in one pass..one track.
I practiced it for 3 days and it took
several takes to get me this clip.
It's done on an eight string tuning.
I took the arrangement from a Classic Guitar Folio of Juan Martin, an English musician.
I transcribed it from his work to my steel.
More possible to do it this way rather than from piano music notation I find. My eight string tuning extends from E 014 to E 056
the same as Classic Guitar. I wanted it this way so I could go after some of their
arrangements.
Thanks for listening.
