おシャンすぎんか

[@GloryinHim1]

Istvan’s performance was pure perfection. Shamefully, the piano was sadly out of tune.

[@IstvanKohan]

Thank you! The piano sound was part of the concept. We were looking for a very old piano sound what is matching the bar piano atmosphere. Surely a good piano sounds better, but not authentic in a bar. Next time we will do with a good piano!

[@f1refall]

that dragging tempo really doesn't work for me

[@lyr7c242]

😑

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

Sorry mr.KOHA`N. This was not a good Gershwin…..I like your records…but not this one…..
