There is something about New York musicians that i love!!

[JohnMcD19]

Great recording. The piano sounds fantastic. You exceeded all expectation here.

[st00f]

@JohnMcD19 It's a Kawai MP5! I love the sound of it. matter of fact, I wanted to sell the piano and buy a different kind of keys untill I plugged it in again at a studio and I heard the heavenly sound...Thanks for the generous compliment!

[joboboification]

Well played.

[jogga16]

so, I was down in My basement studio, listening to a bunch of different Holiday and "almost" holiday music and I came across THIS wonderfully expressive and poignant version of one the Tom Waits songs My Partner,Lover, Girlfriend of 20 years Most enjoy( she's from Minnesota). She came to the Top of the stairs and said. "wow Thats beautiful" I thought to myself " exactly what I was thinking, baby" so I said it out loud.

[sarcophyllus]

Why don't you say in the heading that it is a cover. thief!

[ghengisconrad]

I'm currently compiling my own little "karaoke machine", and this sir, will be the crown jewl.

[st00f]

thanks! but I Dont think this is perfect. then again, what ís perfect..?

[dbf678]

Man, this is so perfect!!

[ZtaDK]

Cool. I'm currently practicing this piece of music on tenor saxophone. When I get better, I'd like to try and play over your piano ... all though we're probably not playing in the same key =)

[st00f]

Have you allready tried it? The key is the original one that mister Waits uses.

Please mind that this one is not perfectly played!

[buckleygeneration]

Nice job.

[st00f]

Thanks!

[dsdm239]

That was very nice! How do you play it? Do you happen to have the sheet music? Any help on how to get this one down would be much appreciated. Great job!

[st00f]

I looked it up in tom waits anthology songbook. but that just didnt hit the spot. so I started listening to what he does and tried to play it a bit the way I like to play things. this is the outcome..

[oebaer]

one of the best ....

[st00f]

thanks! It's not airtight but then again it's very hard because there are so many different versions in wich he puts the lyrics a bit different.

I'll try to redo it when I have time!

[DelMinor]

Very nice man. Good song... Rated, fav'd.

[guanche001]

Vet man :)
