That's really impressive. Jimmy Webb tunes are so darn great!

[started with 1]

Jimmy Webb was something special. Don’t know if I have a favorite, but it may be between By the time I get to Phoenix and of course Wichita Lineman, but there are so many other great ones like this one.

I didn't know this tune. Just wanted to say what a great arrangement, great recording and lovely video. You've obviously spent a lot of time on it and I think it paid off

[pmichael]

That is so very nice.

The timbre reminded me of George Shearing when he made Send in the Clowns an autobiographical moment, and not just a song.

Wow Very nice Jim. So I assume it is you on the piano and what a great sound

Thanks, Kev. Yeah that's me playing everything and singing, something I hardly ever do.

What mic did you use for the piano ?

The piano is sampled: Garritan Abby Road CFX, EQed to sound more like a Steinway, though it's a Yamaha. It's the most versatile piano library I've found and I've tried just about all of them, I think.
