How about let's share some of our favorite recordings and midi files of ourselves or other keyboardists we like. There is some great talent in this forum!

Mike/Psarras....
Great job.... You also are very talented... the music reminds me of the 80's style Depech Mode meets the new millenium... a very unique sound and style... including the vocalist which I am assuing is you... I can see your music talking the world over...
Between your composition's and Pete's, you have inspired me to finish writing my music....
Nase Kala,
Taki

Well Gents, This is not my composition, of course, but I figure since we are Greek and since my compositions are limited for the time being and I got in the mood to record this morning while practicing, I place a composition of Mikis Theodorakis. This particular composition is not played very often anywhere and rarely heard. Plus, I picked this particular piece, because I used to play it about 10 years ago with an extremely talented musician/bouzouki player, George Sofos, which made me think about my bouzouki club life I used to do. By the way, George plays the hell out of this piece.... Anyway, enjoy Mikis music. A few informational tid-bits... this was played on a Roland RD-500 piano keyboard that is an older keyboard where a few notes' sensitivity is out of whack.... I hope to get more musicians here on the forum to place more Greek style of music, so we can learn from each other.... Taki www.thestigmaband.com/AggelouXwra.htm |

George used to play in So. California years ago. Where did you guys play? I used to play at Athenian Gardens in Hollywood from roughly 1989-1999. There were a few great bouzouki players, Danny, Elias Gitsis, Hristo Zervas, Yiannis Zervas, Moraitis, to name a few.

Taki, I love this piece! Nice playing. Danny and I play it all the time. I used to do it with a guy named Lambros who was second bouzouki to Lemonopoulos.

Thank you for the compliment Pete...
As for playing with George, I played with him over 10 years ago. In Chicago, it was a place called the Greek Village.... it still open on Halstead street, but under a different name... then we went together to Florida and played in the Clearwater area for a while....
I played with Elias a couple of times also, I believe in Chicago too, during those touring days of mine. The other guys, other than seeing Danny on your website, I do not know....
I have heard Xristo play in Miami, and he is very good. I know his cousin well too, Niko Zervas... good guy and a monster keyboardist...
Well, off to play at my once a week club gig...

Taki,
that would take some keyboard players 10 years to learn, let alone playing it after a 10 year break ...
