I was exposed to&nbsp;their music&nbsp;from birth and this is the music I play and basically, that means that besides my love of classical music,&nbsp;I like old style traditional folk music&nbsp;from Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic), some Latin styles and\u2026 well, I hope you get what I am trying to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Though I might wander off the beaten path in the future, for now, it is what it is.&nbsp; You have my full permission to love it, hate it or be totally indifferent to it. &nbsp;\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Though every one of my songs has a tiny story behind it, sometimes I&nbsp;will share that story, reason or goal that I wanted to achieve and other times I will just post the song and leave it at that&#8230; but that story is always there without fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Please, no downloading or stealing!&nbsp; This music belongs&nbsp;to me, I retain all legal ownership and copyrights&nbsp;and I put them here so that&nbsp;you may enjoy my music, but not steal&nbsp;it and certainly not to profit from my works.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t&nbsp;make me&nbsp;point my pitbull of a&nbsp;lawyer in your direction about massive funds you now owe me&nbsp;because of your&nbsp;theft\u2026 because to protect my works, I have done it successfully in the past and&nbsp;can do it again if needed.&nbsp; This is the only warning I&nbsp;offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">To listen to a song, click on the small triangle on the left.&nbsp; The track progress shows via the moving bar.&nbsp; To pause or stop the song, click on the triangle again.&nbsp; To listen to a track again, one can either refresh the page and click on the &#8220;start&#8221; triangle on the song of your choice or you may click and drag the moving bar back to the beginning.&nbsp; At the far right, one sees a small speaker and another movable bar.&nbsp; One can adjust the volume of this track clicking and dragging the bar to the left (to lower volume) or to the right (to increase volume).&nbsp; If the volume is at it&#8217;s maximum here and you still cannot get it loud enough, you may need to increase the volume settings on your computer or directly on your speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">So far there are only 4 songs on this list&#8230; check back in the future, I may add more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Song #1 &#8211; Guantanamera &#8211; Cha-cha<\/strong> I&#8217;ve played this song in many forms and many different arrangements over the years, but I think I like this arrangement the best.&nbsp; In trying to keep with the smooth, flowing&nbsp;feeling, I again created a multitrack recording and used the combination of the Elkavox 83 and still new Ketron X4 programmer to give me a nice cha-cha feel.&nbsp; I just find it fun and every time I hear it, I just have to smile! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-798-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Guantanamera-by-JerryPH.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Guantanamera-by-JerryPH.mp3\">http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Guantanamera-by-JerryPH.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Song #2 &#8211; Mona Lisa &#8211; Beguine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">My&nbsp;father loved this song and often played it on their stereo in it&#8217;s&nbsp;Nat King Cole format.&nbsp; My goal here was to make a song that was smooth and gentle and use an arrangement that took advantage of my Elkavox83 and new (at the time) Ketron X4 programmer for the back-tracks.&nbsp; This is the last song I recorded&nbsp;before&nbsp;my big leaving of&nbsp;music decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-798-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mona-Lisa-by-JerryPH.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mona-Lisa-by-JerryPH.mp3\">http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Mona-Lisa-by-JerryPH.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Song #3 &#8211;&nbsp;Blue Tango&nbsp;&#8211; Tango<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">I love this song and find it quite beautiful.&nbsp; My Uncle Jerry in particular (my godfather) was&nbsp;a great lover of tangos and I could play one after another all day long and he would never&nbsp;get enough.&nbsp;

They were so clean that I was kind of inspired to try to record something\u2026 anything\u2026 and so I took the easiest song I could find quickly&nbsp;and see what I could do with it using this equipment and software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The results were&nbsp;technically&nbsp;amazing. &nbsp;The sound quality was excellent, easily the best I had ever done, but the song of itself,&nbsp;the way&nbsp;I played it, was still&nbsp;a&nbsp;weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">No matter, I am posting it here for posterity as it was the first song that I have recorded in&nbsp;many,&nbsp;many years, so I take it for what it is,&nbsp;a technical exercise to display the results of the&nbsp;recording quality possibilities of my new mixer more than a desire to record a specific song that is a&nbsp;reflection of a song that moves me in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-798-4\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Besame-Mucho_Jerry-P.H.mp3?_=4\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Besame-Mucho_Jerry-P.H.mp3\">http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Besame-Mucho_Jerry-P.H.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost every one of my songs has a tiny story behind it, each song has a reason to be here\u2026 sometimes I share the story, sometimes I don&#8217;t.
