Maggie May A Rod Stewart Cover. Preformed by Neil Swanson

[SwanSong]

I have not done a cover for quite awhile . this perhaps is one of my favorite s
of rod stewart.s beside DO U THINK IM SEXY . his disco hit. this recording i
wanted to add a different flavor to it . so i used an argo string section. which
basically on the korg  , is a solo violin. the touch sensitive keys r like playing
the real thing. so after 20 some takes today  and without music . in front of
me , this is my best shot.!  im actually finding cover s are harder to do than
original music. but it s fun to go back and do the classic..s hope u like this.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks for a great year on songcrafter.org. ...NEIL

I know what you mean about covers, the original keeps getting in the way.

Those are sweet sounding keys.  What kind of Korg is that?  I'm getting a lot of mileage out of my microKORG XL at the moment, but yours sounds like a quite different beast.

HI Nick
Thanks for the kind following and listening tomy music . as i try to keep
up with everyone s here. so much music dont have time lo . but i try
to do a few a day in all fairness. to tother.s i bought this particular
korg model on the internet six years ago  A KORG PRO PA 50 . very versatile
a lot s of toys and whistles on i t. i understand about your korg. dont
know if this particular model is still made, but i m sure they have something
equivalant if u r ever in the market. but thanks and happy HOLIDAYS. NEIL
