Creative Keyboard Club March 2016 Meeting

Marlene Forrest was the MC for the occasion and the arrival music was played by Denise Gunson on clavinova. This was our clubs 25th Anniversary celebration. "Many Happy Returns Creative" with 276 meetings to date! Thankyou to the Farley's for the beautiful anniversary cake.
Our program ...
Pam Rea on keyboard with "No Business Like Show Business" and "One Of Those Things"
Hana Tani (our youngest member and already an accomplished pianist) on clavinova with "Sonata in D Major" and "Flight of The Bumble Bee"
Barbara McNabb on clavinova with "On My Own" and "Wouldn't It Be Loverly"
Peter Torckler on keyboard with a varied selection from Latin American to classical including Mendelssohn's "Spring Song", "Wave", "Kiss me A Lot". Peter (our club founder) also gave us some interesting background on the foundation of the club.
Many thanks to all those in the first half. A great start to our afternoon.

Musician Kane Steves (also a club member from age 8 and former pupil of Peter Torckler) was our guest artiste. Kane brought along the latest Korg PA4X keyboard (Italian assembled) to demonstrate. This retails for $7,500 and Kane assures us there is a club discount (however only the one for sale at the moment so be in quick!). The Harmonize button (vocals) was put to good use with "Crying Time" and other tunes included a Swing medley "Fly Me To The Moon" and "All Of Me" (with vocals), "Who's Sorry Now" (Dixieland style), "More" (demonstrating the amazing Steinway Grand Piano), "Lost Without You", "In The Mood " (Quickstep). There was a country selection "Green, Green Grass of Home", "On The Road Again" and ending with "Turkey in the Straw". Amazing guitar sound with "Cavatina" and Kane finished up on clavinova with "Piano Man". A great example of what a former club member can do! Many thanks Kane.
