OK, you've probably seen the video of this one, but I wanted to get it down on my DAW so it sounded a bit better.  I also finally figured out how to play along with his drum and bass track (duh!!), so this is actually the right tempo the whole way thru.  Must have been too stressed before the performance to figure that one out.    Anyway, here it is.  Please don't feel like you have to listen again or comment.  It was a good exercise for me, and having to play along to the drum track showed me a few errors in my sight-reading.  And no, this isn't a one-shot through deal either.  It is mostly, but I had to edit a few places.  I haven't been playing it every day for a few weeks so it's already gettinga little rusty.  :(  Maybe some day...  Anyway, Jon Schmidt doesn't have to worry about me taking his spot.  :) 

Thanks to Jon Schmidt for the music and drum/bass track...all for $1.98.  And several months of practice.  :)

7/12:  Thanks to Jonas for working his magic on the drum track to calm that bass down.  I appreciate it!

I will have the honor of first responding.  

Sounds like your stretching out a bit.  I love the happy vibe and the piano well played as always.

This bops!

Let me be the second to respond. Yes, this is not the typical Janet that I am used to hearing. You are rocking out, lady! Great job! You can join my band any day! Nope....never mind, we're too country.

Thanks guys.  When I grow up I want to be able to write music like this.

Well, that, and play it live correctly!  :)

Gee, I like that steady beat! First I 've got some Bruce Hornesby vibes. The chord and key changes are almost inhumane but you manage! It's definately rocking. 

Awesome job Janet! Whew...what a cool array of chord changes with some great melody! I had to play along with this 3 times to see where it was going and 3 more times to have fun with it...I love it! :)

Pretty nice playing on a good tune. I'm going to get a nice piano soft synth one of these days so I can sound just like this. Your playing is always an inspiration to me.

Nice job. Playing was smooth.

Equality, I love that beat too.  It's so much more fun to play along with it! :)  And those chord changes aren't hard if you're reading music.  :)

Danny, you played along 6 times?  Wow.  And you played in Db?  I'm impressed!  :)  This is my favorite of his (and it was his favorite at the time.)  You should watch him play it.

Thanks, Chappel!  I highly recommend Ivory Grand pianos. :)

Thanks Herb.

Janet

Hahaha yeah I sure did. Well, it started in C and got to what *I* call C# later in the tune. Switching keys and using loads of chords isn't a problem for me. Don't let the hair and rocker image fool you. LOL! As long as you don't play in Eb or G# and I don't have to solo I'm ok. Hahaha! For some reason, I've never had to play in those keys much. I can play in them, don't get me wrong, but it's been rare for me. When someone plays something in rock in Eb, I know they've tuned down half a step so I just play it in E.
 
Yeah I had a good time playing rhythm guitar for you on this to add some more power to it. I tried to solo a bit over it, but it only worked in some spots...and walked on top of you in others since the piano is moving so well. Really loved this Janet....excellent job! See...sometimes it's good to take a little break. :)
