Beautiful !!I too wish that I could play as delightful as your good self .you are amazing .I am just starting to learn the piano . well I say piano it's a Roland FP 30 . good god I could listen to you for ever 10/10 bravo
Thanks for the message! I have a long long list of pieces I need to do tutorials etc for... trouble is finding the time to do it. If I do have time, I will get round to this one at some point.
I clicked on another posting before yours and knew right away it wasn't a good one. Then I clicked on yours and BAM, right away I knew I found a good one. GREAT job. You got it! Excellent.
I have to say that I never really like this piece of music but.... now that I have listened to your version... well... I really really really like it. Brilliant.
Well done sir. Full of feel and respect for the way the music was written and intended to be played. Too many people overplay great pieces like this to indulge themselves and to show that they can play. You got it spot on.

This is insane. As someone who also plays from an emotive place .. wow, the dynamics, the expression.. your touch, the choices you made throughout.. it was an entire journey I did not want to get off. Sitting on top of the wave.. of your musical flow. Literally my first listening of your videos.. about to dive in and check out more. You’ve inspired.. thank you
excellent arrangement to a great song. In the process of learning your version for solo piano note for note after playing my version of it for years. Your version is the only one on You Tube that does it right....Bravo
Hello, I was going to perform this song for my wedding (shh! It's a surprise!) My fiancé and I have been long distance for over a year now (encompassing the third year of our engagement) and I soon will be traveling for the military (Marine Corps) so there is but more distance in our future. That being said, this song is perfect for our wedding. I understand that many others have asked you for a tutorial but with pressing time, I'd love to play *this* version for our wedding. If you could perhaps send me the sheet that you used? I'm no novice so I can work with less than a tutorial but I absolutely love this arrangement. Female Marine.
for most piano players without an audience, if you play this good, you dream you are sitting at Carnegie Hall with a 9 ft acoustic grand and a sold out audience. The artistic quality of this interpretation really does qualify for Carnegie Hall. The phrasing of the arrangement, the spacing of silence, the understanding of Brenda Russell's lyric, the trick stuff of varying the intensity is masterful and keeps the listener on the hook throughout.
I don't know what to say, except thank you for such a kind comment. To know that anyone is listening to my recordings, and enjoying them... well, it makes me feel great.

Well done sir. Full of feel and respect for the way the music was written and intended to be played. Too many people overplay great pieces like this to indulge themselves and to show that they can play. You got it spot on.
Thanks so much :)
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trail-way
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
[Verse 2]
You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slow, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
[Chorus]
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, then surely you would be closer
I need you closer
[Verse 3]
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can
Get here if you can
