Dorothy and I have played several shows for retirement residences over the past few weeks that have not been recorded since that extra effort is sometimes just too much to take care of. One thing I have to work harder on is the song Celebration-- especially for our New Year's Eve gig. The songs sounds straightforward enough but when you look at the sheet music, it's a real mess-- and a big problem rhythmically. I'll post the Youtube's I selected earlier again this morning and add to the same playlist as I explore the issues I have with it. Note that James Taylor and Deodato (of Also Sprach Zarathustra fame) were just two of about eight co-writers! That's ridiculous.
Rick and Dorothy partnered personally and professionally from 1995 to 2025. 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 and singalongs were often part of the show. Dorothy transitioned to the quantum-spiritual-realm QSR in January 2025 and she lives on electronically here and via quantum synchronicity winks to Rick from the beyond Email: rick_potvin@yahoo.com
