This is a big departure from your usual guitar based tracks . Like it and you delving into other musical avenues 

Sweetwater ran a sale on EZkeys last month, so I went ahead and picked up the Grand Piano...

I had no idea that you could record yourself playing into the program! It's actually really cool for someone who's not very proficient lol. If you can play just one measure of anything in C, the program will record that MIDI data. Then, you can edit that data any way you like and create an entire song out of it. Plus, it comes with loads of editable presets! It's nothing like BIAB, the program doesn't limit you at all; and since it's MIDI, you can use it to play other instruments! Very cool little program 🙂

Yeah, you can hear that you were having fun with EZ-Keys LOL. I bought the same basic version a while back, but haven't really figured out how to use it properly. I didn't know that you could just play your own stuff into it and use that instead of the snippets that come with it. That opens up a much wider range of possibilities without buying all the add on packs.

I always like your more lyrical songs. You bring the same sharp concise imaginative writing to it that I also admire in your more strident religious or political stuff. This one makes you think and the melody carries it nicely. Good one!

Exactly Right! What I find most useful in the EZkeys library isn't all the genres and chord progressions, it's just the rhythm patterns. You can pull any preset down into the play board, change all chords to C, then chop and rearrange the MIDI any way you like. Or, you can combine one measure from one preset with a measure from another as long as the time signature is the same. It's all just MIDI information, and if you at least know what the C major scale is, you can quantize anything you play and sound just like a pro! 🙂

The only downside I've found with the program is that the transpose function seems to get "confused" if you try to record in any key other than C. Especially minor keys. But, it will transpose "from C" to any other key without a hitch.
