Moody Prawn Blues
on: November 15, 2015, 04:37:46 PM
Hey Guys,


I know this is all low level piano playing but I thought i'd share.  ;D

Moody Prawn Blues is the third and final piece I will be playing on my ABRSM exams. Have just recorded it here:

Do you think this will do well?



Kind regards!

hey, that is very well played!!   Low level or not --your swinging 8ths are quite solid...impressive!--you will pass with flying colors I predict.  8)
