Goodness, yours portly needs a vacation from his vacation!  It’s been another crazy week, as my consistently tardy posts have demonstrated.

Last night I played a little cocktail hour at the big hospital system in my area.  They host an annual fundraiser in February, and they’ve booked me to play sax for a few years.  This year, they asked me to play piano on their beautiful baby grand.  As such, I put in a lot of hours this week and last to hone my chops.

At one point, I started playing Electric Light Orchestra’s “Can’t Get it Out of My Head,” which gave me the idea to put together a promo reel for a fake ELO cover band:

I also did a very melodramatic recording of Albinoni’s Adagio using harpsichord and electric piano sounds:

Enjoy!
