Our Restaurant Piano 20 min. video approaching 1,000 views!




In the world of Youtube where pop artists get a million hits, it might seem mundane that little old us got 700+ hits for a 20 minute medley but RELATIVE to our previous videos, 700+ seems close enough to 1,000 and thus worth mentioning. We're happy with it-- relatively speaking that is. Happy is happy for now.

Live Piano Program


Rick & Dorothy's PROGRAM for Restaurant Live Piano 

URL http://rickpotvinpiano.blogspot.com/2014/09/live-piano-program.html

Background

We are two versatile, qualified, experienced professional piano stylists, vocalist, keyboardists and organists.

We play all type of music for all music decades, including dance music and piano bar songs that are played on cruise ships.

We have a very large repertoire. We play continuously, alternating taking turns throughout the evening taking no breaks like others do. 

We have excellent resumes.

We played for 5 star restaurant Golden Buddha for 6  1/2 years from 2007 to 2012, 7 nights per week, very successfully, with a piano identity.

We have our own portable equipment. A Korg digital piano, a keyboard, a Technics organ, microphone and speaker.
