For me, I find I just can't get the precise feeling I am looking for on upfront melodic piano unless I do it myself, especially if I am going for "haunting" and the piano is in the foreground.

FWIIW and YMMV etc etc..

I did want to do the piano myself. I had worked it all out. But I find it VERY difficult to record using a VST piano sound (MIDI)...I haven't figured out how to set it up to avoid the delay - which makes it nearly impossible to record a new part to existing tracks...my brain quickly gets confused.

Very nice of you to say, Dan. Thanks.

This hit home as we have family members in similar situations.

Outstanding lyrics and an excellent backing band.

One of your absolute best.


Thanks, Mario. Not sure it's a good thing for this to "hit home"...
