You are too kind Neil but thanks for listening. Of course it isn’t a matter of either/or, I can still play like that if I put my mind to it and bits of it sometimes pop up in my improvisation. My teacher in my youth had a professional style very like that of the first one and he was obsessed with Liszt, so your comments are pretty sharp. There were some mighty players in the early twentieth century whose music went out of fashion but was supremely accomplished - the likes of Charlie Kunz, Billy Mayerl and Raymond Turner.
I used to use a Pioneer tape system with one stereo microphone hung through the hasp of the open piano lid. Alas no, while there is no danger I might lose any of them they are very numerous and scattered in various places. It is an exercise I really should carry out.
I have since found words I must have written to some of the first melody.
"Take me to that Cuckoo land,
Take me far away.
That's the place I understand,
That's the place I wanna stay.
Take me to that Cuckoo land,
I'm gonna be so free.
I'm gonna be such a great big boss,
Lots and lots of money for me."
When I was about forty I took private lessons in composition from a very prominent composer. (More fool me !) He told me the melody and harmonies were "very wrong". I took no notice of him. I recall the second one came to me after reading Sir Edwin Arnold's "Light of Asia". I think it too has words lying around somewhere.
