He broke it down brilliantly here because Dennis simply couldn't. Denny has been consistent about explaining how he has always composed songs by ear and keeps noodling along until it sounds right.

Whilst he didn’t explicitly say it was his tune, he certainly gave the impression that it was. A little humility by the current owners of the Styx name, who, after all, largely owe their career to Dennis, would be a nice change of course. A pity that people have such short memories.

    Too bad we couldn’t have the original composer in this video, especially since it was his hard work that brought the inspiration and heart of this song to the band. No one know this song better than Mr Deyoung. It was this song that brought the band to super stardom. This song was his story of hope and perseverance through tough times.

      Gowan needs to be the best, at acting like Gowan. There's only one person who should have been in this video, and thats the one and only Dennis Deyoung! Anyone can make a video so compelling, when all the hard work happend years ago by another artest!

      Well the band had lives to live, mouths to feed. They could not wait for him.
      I’m sure they would have liked to continue with him but getting Gowan who is a fantastic musician.

    Piano playing skills excellent, but sadly, his voice has seen better days. Happens to all singers.

    Answering the question "Who could be better at teaching Styx's classic hit "Come Sail Away" than the maestro himself?" It seems to me that the ACTUAL maestro, the one who wrote the song, who sang the lead vocal and played the iconic keys part on the original hit, would be a much better choice. Gowan is a fine musician, but if we're drawing comparisons, he's barely more than a cheap knock-off of Dennis DeYoung, the immensely talented TRUE voice of Styx.

    Please remember that Gowan is a skilled Styx tribute musician only and has not written any of the famous Styx hit songs. Taken credit for the song written and originally performed by Dennis DeYoung is pretty weak.

      I didn't see him taking credit for it. The fact that Dennis isn't in the band is an issue best addressed with Tommy and JY. I'm a keyboard player myself and a big fan of Dennis and his work as a songwriter and performer. I wish he was in the band but until he is welcomed back someone is going to do it. May as well be Lawrence.
