philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I've just done a silly thing. For my amusement during lockdown I've ordered an electronic keyboard. I was looking at baby grands but it would be difficult getting one into the car when I start to play at gigs. I can't play the piano yet but I reckon a couple of weeks practice should be OK. I always buy myself a birthday present! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Let me know when you're playing Rachmaninoff's second at the Concert Hall. I'll turn the pages for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,094 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Are you going to get a pair of candelabra and Lurex jacket? And don't forget the Bling on each finger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Candelabras we have in stock. I'm not going to rise to the bait about Lurex! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I said Lurex, not Durex !! They'd make it difficult to tickle the ivories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,269 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 When you make it to the Royal Concert Hall, you're going to need Beekay. He used to be a conductor! Young Trogg has a lot of experience of playing second fiddle (according to young Trogg) and it won't be hard to find someone who likes blowing their own trumpet. You're all set. Please welcome Mr Mayfield who will give us his rendition of Grieg's Piano Concerto. All the right notes...but not necessarily in the right order. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 You won't be taking the Mickey when I'm on Britain's Got Tallent. I'm more into modern jazz where I can extemporise. I am seeking a drummer though. It's a Casio WK 7600 which has all the bells and whistles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Is this the right time to wish you a Happy Birthday Phil? I must admit I’ve thought about getting a piano (or keyboard because we haven’t got room for a proper piano) We had a lovely upright piano years ago when our boys had a short-lived fancy for learning to play, but we gave it away to Wild Willy Barrett when we moved house. Our son has recently bought his 7 year old a keyboard and so far so good, she’s doing ok on it and long may it continue, it’s such a fantastic talent to have ....... where’s Pianoman btw?

As soon as the weather's warmer I'll be working outside again but I need a project for the next few weeks. It was going to be a model railway - we shall see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian I dont know yet , I dont even know if the dr does it or we have to go to the hospital in Asti which means a journey of about 20 mins, not far and I dont suppose the carpark will be as full as it usually is.

nonnaB 4,893 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Phil can you remember Angelo who used to sing to his keyboard recording at L'Angolo?. It was such a palarva to set it up. He was really particular on it all being perfect and the sounds of " se, se, one hundred and eighty, Se, se, se. to get the sound right. Customers usually liked to hear him sing but sometimes got so fed up with waiting for the perfect sound that they got fed up and went home. After we left Radcliffe and came here we holidayed in Nottingham and went to visit him at Mapperly where he had opened a restaurant with Giorgio Trudinos daughter. He hadn't changed much in his habits but had started wearing a different hat for each song.!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I don't recollect going to L'Angolo in the evening, only for lunch and I don't remember any music at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 It'll be by zoom BK, just as soon as I've mastered the keyboard. Save you trying to stuff a double bass into the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
