"Hang Up My Rock 'n Roll Shoes" Hook covers Chuck Willis for 50sR&RF (1st w/EWI)

[Hook]

I did this yesterday, the Concert Uke/vocal track was done on my bed & the tenor Sax part was my new Akai EWI5000

It's so freaking cool I can't stand it. It has a 3G drive with 100 presets (all tweakable) the 1st 50 are wind instruments and the 2nd are synhth sounds. I think this is the #3 Sax, I love the breathyness of the tone. It has a 9 octave, rollerball system that takes a bit of getting used to & the right hand thumb plate has bend features and if your not careful the whole instrument is half half step off.
I got it for live use in my new show (justification) and I cant wait to start looping with it but I would assume I'll use it in my producing also.

great song!....very interested by this instrument (tenor sax akay)  I bought quite recently a xaphon for the sax tone but too difficult to play!

[Johnny Robbo]

Great version! No matter how fancy the technology, it's only as good as the person playing it... which is why this sounds AMAZING!

[ODH]

Don't know the song, but I love your version of it and yes, I have a GAS attack seeing the technology (which you already mastered, apparently - I'm in awe of how you get and assimilate these new instruments).

No matter how fancy the technology, it's only as good as the person playing it...

Which is why I'd never get one.  No hoper in that department, much as I'd like one.

Great vocal performance once again on this one - fully committed. Bravo.

[Geir]

I am so impressed by your talent my friend

You rock .... 'N' roll

[cuthbert]

Outstanding vocal & uke, and that EWI5000 is mega-cool! I'm also jealous.

Not a song I was familiar with, but your version is superb.
