Playing The Synthesizer
Not many of my friends have commented on my performance in playing the synthesizer favorably which includes my wife. One song I thought was my best was the playing of the tune The Godfather the theme song. A high level attorney did not think it would be copyright infringement being that I play for fun and never made a dime at it. It is a hobby and I even went as far as posting a video. Most of the time I practice behind close doors with maybe a few family members around but there is no excitement in my music which has brought down the house. There is nothing extraordinary in the numbers of views I have received as we see the superstars churning out videos with numbers in the millions. I never even considered myself a musician because playing a synthesizer with one hand is like a recreational baseball player using one arm to hit a baseball with.
And no one does that. One cannot be good if they do it that way. But for the first time I took the synthesizer outdoors with an attached loud speaker I had from my fail attempts at the electric guitar and I could feel the music. For years I would close my eyes and imagine performing down at pier 39 in San Francisco or the area in or around the piers of San Francisco. It was my fantasy that I could play because I can carry a tune listen for yourself on you tube but when it comes right down to the core I would be nerves galore. I figured playing in my own backyard with the sound up enough to blast away could be heard from my place to several houses away. Unfortunately most of the four or five videos were of poor quality due to my lack of experience in posting such videos
