Rick and Dorothy performed the piano-keyboard shows in and around Phoenix, Arizona from 2012 to 2019. Their unique duet featured one of them on 88-key piano while the other managed the bass, percussion & lead solo instruments on a portable keyboard ensemble. Vocals & singalongs were often part of the show.

Chim Chim Cheree played and sung by Rick
Playlist Book 7 Jan 2012 - Speak Softly Love - with defective wiring; Chim chim cheree May 2012,[2 songs run about 6 minutes] Both have interesting chord changes that should be looked at from the Roman numeral point of view to gain a total familiarity with how the harmony moves, leading to improvisation. Both start from a minor mode but I use a major scale 'overlay' on the minor mode making it easier to "see" the chords we're using. So in Speak Softly Love, we're in C minor, but think of it as C major. Similarly in Chim Chim. I have the charts for both. Discussion available in the forum. No log in needed.
