Silent Night - Me on the piano

[VernJensen]

For anyone interested in a small glimpse into my personal life, I've finally recorded something of me on the piano.

I came up with this arrangement in about 2 hours last Monday, and recorded it in another 2 hours or so Christmas Eve. It still has parts I'm not happy with, but it's not bad, given the amount of time spent coming up with the arrangement and practicing.

I like to mess around on the piano, improvising (mostly on hymns), but so far haven't taken the time to turn anything into a coherent arrangement. Just fun ideas here and there. So this is my first arrangement I guess you could say. Perhaps there will be more in the future.

I've decided to invest in some entry-level audio recording equipment so I can get better sound quality next time.

Wow, Vern, that is beautiful! I think you do a lot more than just

mess around

on the piano, you're very talented. Thanks for sharing that.

Merry Christmas!

Vern !  That was wonderful, and quite amazing actually, to hear all the beautiful backgrounds with the traditional piece.  You are very talented.

Thank you for this awesome Christmas Gift ! [smiley=engel017.gif]

Hey guys,
Vern asked me awhile back to put something I play up. So, recently I also took the initiative to record myself playing piano. Such a great instrument. Here it is:

This is me playing one of my favourite piano compositions. Hope you enjoy it.

Ahhh, you finally learned it. Congrats!

While on there, I found your Blork vs. Xork. It was an entertaining watch. :-)

That's great, Anthony! Nice to see what you look like, too.

Haha, I made that when I was 9 or 10, a very long time ago.

I usually have more hair, I recently shaved it off for a drama production.

I realize this is a post from 2010, haha, but whatever, I just now found it for some reason. This is really awesome, Vern. Totally brought me to Christmas in the middle of June. In Vegas!

Hey, good to hear from you Alan!
