"Santa Fe" from Disney's Newsies, piano cover AJ Rafael

[MikeMai7]

What're the chances that you still have the sheet music for this song? I know this is forever ago., but if I could somehow find your version it could save me for my college auditions next weekend!

[Love4Nathan22]

[TheTikaworld]

Piano was good but you shoulda stuck with the way cowboy sang it......other than that it sounded gr8! good job!

[duffen]

Thank you - that was amazing and well done- to be able to sing is the best high in the world , and to be able to play is even more amazing, my mother died a year ago today and your song made me very melancholy- but in a good way, I was very lucky to have the time I had with her and I thank you for making me feel again tonight - I was numb, and your song lifted my heart- Duffen in Chicago, I had a dream and it you found a way to survive and you were filled with joy,

[ilajil]

@duffen hey duffen, i'm very glad it made you feel that way. i feel as if i've already done my job as a musician. thank you

[bradimckae]

uhm. yea. soo.. I'm in love.

[TheRdog961]

[FandubersProductions]

your cover is so beautiful ;.;

[judefox2010]

Interesting arrangement... I can't say I was surprised when you skipped the instrumental sections with all the modulations, but then the song ended a whole step higher than it started which threw me off. But obviously this is a wonderful performance. Congratulations!

[AlliBat22]

this is my favorite song...and you made me cry(:

[xsmittyx62]

This has always been my favorite movie. Hearing this brings me back

[UltimateGuitar2]

Newsies is probably my favorite musical ever.. Hearing this makes me wish 2 things..:

1. That the Newsies was a Stage Version So it could be performed..

2. That i could play this on the piano..Sure i can play the chords but its not nearly as pleasing as this version...

Anyways You did very Well.. Ive kept up with your videos and your extremely Talented... Thanks for Providing me with Entertainment :D - JC

[ohemgeeitschloe]

OMG this is pure talent you did such a great job!

[HerbertDaFeesh]

This was really good! I enjoyed your version better than Christian's! He may be a wonderful actor, but he can't sing to save his life! Wonderful rendition! Where did you get the sheet music?
