Gloria's S910 Jukebox

(See MP3 listing below for downloads or comments.)

(Feb, 2009) I live in Arizona with my husband who plays guitar and bass and our dog who "thinks" he plays keyboard! I've played piano, accordion, organ, guitar thru the years and now play a PSR-3000. I am thoroughly fascinated by all the variety this "one man orchestra" has and have enjoyed sharing and learning with other members of this wonderful PSR Tutorial!

I was active in the exciting years of The Accordion Orchestras, participating with Pietro Deiro, Charles Magnante in New York and Palmer-Hughes duo from the University of Houston. I studied in Minnesota where my "unknown future husband" was a partner in a music studio. After marriage, we did some entertaining and started our own music studio in Owatonna, Minnesota. Now 53 years later, I'm still working for "that man!"

Note: in 2010, Gloria upgraded to the PSR-S910. - JW

08-29-2009 -- ABBA Medley (PSR-3000) - Are there any ABBA fans here? I compiled four of ABBA'S many hits into a medley; different key signatures, time signatures and different styles were a challenge! Can you guess the song titles? Regards, Gloria.

10-11-2009 -- Adios Amigos (PSR-3000) - This was originally done by Jim Reeves as a slow ballad. I experimented with it as a faster Flamenco style; hope you enjoy it (and I still enjoy it as a slow ballad.)

06-26-2010 -- America Medley (PSR-S910)

03-13-2009 -- An Irish Blessing (PSR-3000) - Happy St. Patrick's Day to All! Been exploring Celtic and Riverdance styles for a more contemporary sound. Used Celtic trance with traditional Irish voices of whistle, guitar, accordion and violin. The whistle multi-pad was by Eileen, used for a counter-melody and fill-ins. This was done with the Quick Record. Hope you enjoy An Irish Blessing! Happy St.Paddy's Day! Gloria.

09-21-2009 -- Bye Bye Blues Boogie (PSR-3000) - This is a little different version of this familiar oldie, so thought I should give you fair warning by referring to it as B.B.B.Boogie! Hope you enjoy it!

09-11-2009 -- Bye Bye Love (PSR-3000) - This Everly Brothers song just about turned into "Bye Bye Song" for me! Been struggling a couple weeks with the VH. I first recorded the rhythm and fill-ins on midi so I could concentrate on singing; but when it came to the chorus - no harmony came on! (I used to be able to do that.) Finally went back and dubbed the chords in again and that triggered the VH. Thanks for listening.

09-13-2009 -- Bye Bye Love_GH-EM-DM (PSR-3000) (Gloria, Ernie, & Drake) Checked my email and got a pleasant surprise! My friend Ernie, a long-time PSR member from the Netherlands, surprised me with more new technology (new to me anyway.) He had fun with my original post of Bye Bye Love by adding his deep vocal harmony part and some more guitar fill-ins! Now I'm going to surprise him by sharing it with you! ... Another surprise guest artist! In addition to Ernie's rhythmic guitar part, Drake has added some very nice and smooth melody guitar fill-ins. Thanks, Drake.

03-12-2010 -- Can't Help Lovin' That Man (PSR-S910)

12-01-2008 -- Christmas Enya (PSR-3000)

11-22-2009 -- Comedians Dance (PSR-3000) - Hi Everyone, I'm so excited my S910 has arrived! The first thing I wanted to learn was it's audio recording. So this song was actually played on my 3000 & tranfered to the 910 to make a wav.recording. This is going to be so much fun! Hope you enjoy my pent-up energy in the Dance of the Comedians by Kabalevsky. It's done as Quick Record; luckily I found that harmony part in the "break" section!

06-10-2009 -- Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend (PSR-S900) - Diamonds Are..., was introduced by Carol Channing in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and perhaps most famously performed by Marilyn Monroe. There are updated versions by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rogue, Emmylou Harris, T-Bone Burnett and Beyonce. I tried to do my version as the light-hearted Marilyn Monroe! Thanks for listening.

12-07-2009 -- Feliz Navidad (PSR-S910) - Feliz Navidad greetings from sunny Arizona! This is my first post with my new 910. Really like the super articulation voices of the guitar & trumpet in this song. Love the ability to play my MP3 thru these great sounding speakers! (In Christmas 2009 jukebox.)

09-03-2009 -- Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight (PSR-3000) - In answering some requests for more ABBA, here's one I never really liked until I started practicing and getting into it! Then I couldn't stop playing it! (Guess that can happen with a lot of life's experiences!) Anyway, I combined two styles, Bogdan's and a preset to get the guitar effect I wanted. Hope you enjoy it.

06-26-2010 -- God Bless America (PSR-S910)

01-28-2010 -- Have I Told You Lately (PSR-S910)

11-20-2008 -- How Great Thou Art (PSR-3000) - Ian Mcnll of Yamaha created this Freestyle on the S900. A style without beats, it lets the melody flow expressively and enables the use of cadenzas and rubato in classical, religious and movie themes. My arrangement slowly builds, changing styles and tempo. I'd like to dedicate this to my husband who is recovering from succesful surgery. Thank you all for your kind concern. Regards, Gloria

04-08-2009 -- I Don't Know How To Love Him (PSR-3000) - This rock opera by Andrew L. Weber depicts the last 7 days in the life of Christ. I Don't Know How to Love Him expresses Mary Magdalene's love and confusion about Him. The words to the loud part are: "Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout, let my feeling out? I never thought I'd come to this, What's it all about?" Regards, Gloria.

07-20-2009 -- La Cumparsita Tango (PSR-3000) - La Cumparsita, written by G. Rodrigues of Urugary in 1917, was first introduced on the bandoneon accompanied with orchestra. It is one of the most celebrated tango in history and performed in the movie "Tango." Hope you enjoy it.

01-28-2010 -- Largo - New World Symphony (PSR-S910)

01-28-2010 -- Let It Snow Medley (PSR-S910) - After I posted "Miami Beach Rumba", Miami froze! Then, here in Arizona we got the "storm of the century" with record snowfall in the high country that we can see from here in "The Valley of the Sun!" Today is Groundhog Day - he saw his shadow! Think I'll go along with Mother Nature and post this winter medley of Let It Snow and Marshmellow World!

10-01-2009 -- Look For The Silver Lining (PSR-3000) - Have you ever started playing one song and ended up unknowingly into another? My fingers just started doing their own thing! So I ended up with this medley - can you name the intruder?

01-08-2010 -- Lyin' Eyes (PSR-S910) - Quite a few months ago I played an instrumental version of the Eagles, Lyin' Eyes. I enjoy the song so much, this time I'd like to post it as a vocal.

02-13-2009 -- Lyin' Eyes (PSR-3000) - Haven't learned how to record MP3 yet, so tried an online converter program that Dennis found. Did a lot of re-recording before I found out what guitar voices would "take." Thanks for listening to "Lyin' Eyes" by the Eagles. Regards, Gloria.

12-14-2009 -- Mary's Little Boy Chile (PSR-S910) - Merry Christmas Everyone, A little combination of Harry Belafonte & Boney M; hope you enjoy it! Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday Season! (In Christmas 2009 jukebox.)

06-26-2010 -- Military Medley (PSR-S910)

04-02-2009 -- Mucho Rhumba (PSR-3000) - Arizona's weather is now balmy and beautiful so got in the mood for some Latin music! Hope you enjoy Mucho Rhumba.

07-27-2010 -- New Moon (PSR-S910)

01-19-2010 -- O Mio Babbino (PSR-S910)

02-24-2009 -- Only Time (PSR-3000)

12-01-2008 -- Parade Of The Tin Soldiers (PSR-3000)

10-24-2009 -- Peter Paul & Mary Tribute (PSR-3000) - After the death of Mary Travis, I wanted to do a tribute to her music and her involvement in the Human Rights Movements. I've been working on this idea since September and hope I finally got it together, with the tribute toward the end of the medley. I'd like to thank Dan for his posts of VH suggestions on the Vocal Harmony Forum.

10-16-2009 -- Phantom of Rock Opera (PSR-3000) - Happy Halloween! I posted this last year as a "spoof " on the Phantom. I've interpreted this from Christine's point of view - she is being stalked by the Phantom and is terrified! You'll hear the chandelier slide in the intro, footsteps, screams and a motif from Bach's Toccata in Dm. Done as a Quick Record with as many quick moves as I could make! (Exhausting!) Hope you have fun listening!

06-21-2010 -- Shenandoah (PSR-S910)

12-01-2008 -- Silver Bells (PSR-3000)

12-01-2007 -- Snow Lady (PSR-3000)

05-05-2010 -- Song From Moulin Rouge (PSR-S910)

05-19-2010 -- Song Of India (PSR-S910) - This song is a request from a member. He emailed me and asked if I ever had time, could I record a favorite of his. Here it is!

07-31-2010 -- Snowbird (PSR-S910)

02-24-2009 -- Spanish Serenade (PSR-3000) - This is a relaxing Spanish song that I always seem to enjoy playing; hope you enjoy it too! Regards, Gloria.

06-26-2010 -- Star Spangled Banner (PSR-S910)

07-02-2009 -- That's Amore (PSR-3000) - Just a fun relaxing song sung by Dean Martin - That's Amore!

08-12-2009 -- Top Of The World (PSR-3000) - I always liked this arrangement by the sister and brother, Karen and Richard Carpenter. Hope I can do it justice.

08-04-2009 -- When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin Along (PSR-3000) - Doris Day's version of this song was showcased in the 1946 movie The Jolson Story. It was also performed by many other big bands and singers - Dean Martin, Susan Hayward and Lillian Roth. My version also has a Buddy Rich type drum solo. Hope you enjoy it!

11-08-2009 -- Wild Child Instrumental (PSR-3000)

01-08-2010 -- Wild Child vocal (PSR-S910) - Hi Everyone, A while ago I posted Enya's Only Time, using a dedicated sty in 4/4 time. I was stymied when it came to Wild Child because it's in 3/4 and there's nothing available that sound like her unique rhythm! So I merged the bass variation and played the staccato chord accompaniment live. (But it was really tiring so this is a short version!) It is also two for the price of one - instrumental and vocal. Hope you enjoy!

12-08-2009 -- Winter Wonderland (PSR-S910) - Just a fun song to sing & play! Hope you enjoy Winter Wonderland. (In Christmas 2009 jukebox.)

05-06-2009 -- With This Ring (PSR-3000) - Just a flashback to the 50's and 60's song, With This Ring, I Thee Wed by The Platters. I found they used a lot of brass along with their vocals and a strong drum beat. Wanted to do a Quick Record but had to multi-track only the cymbal to get it loud enough! I think their drummer must have had a lot of fun playing this one! Regards, Gloria.

06-24-2009 -- Your Cheating Heart (PSR-S900) - Last year Vince Andreone created this great piano backing for his vocal of Your Cheating Heart and shared it with all members. I asked his permission to use it and I added more steel guitar fill-ins. (You can tell mine because I took a little "slide!" Hope you enjoy this oldie by Hank Williams Sr.
