Exquisitely played! Thank you for playing my arrangement! All the best, Aldy

Thank you, Aldy! You made my day! My mom loves “The Sound of Silence” and requested I play it. I listened to every arrangement I could find and found yours on Musicnotes.com. I thought it was perfect and bought it immediately! It is my most watched video so far! Keep making great arrangements, and thanks so much for the encouragement!

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence"

You know people are talking about your straight laced version, versus this stupid thing other musicians are doing(some horror song of this).

[@laramasonpiano]

I didn’t know that. 🙂 I’ve only seen the comments here on my page.

[@cannabis1490]

WOW! SUPERB!!!!!!

[@hitmanbluesband]

Thanks for sharing! If you have a minute, we recorded some original blues tunes. As fellow music lovers, we'd love if you'd check it out. It's on our page. Don't be too tough on us :)

Thank you!

[@pureinspiration9140]

Very well played!

[@laramasonpiano]

Thank you! My Mom requested this one. It’s her favourite.

[@pureinspiration9140]

She has good taste. It is one of my favorites too

How about an old Frank Sinatra - 'Didn't we' at the speed Sinatra sings it, please -Can't find a melody backing for me to sing anywhere Thx

[@laramasonpiano]

I looked through my books but I don’t have any music for that one! Sorry!

[@MikeFuller-ok6ok]

Not that any piano playing to a song can improve on this but I was wandering if you do requests. I was just wandering if you fancied having a go at The Beatles' 'Across the Universe'. Obviously do what the hell you wish and it is only a suggestion. This is fantastic though!!

[@laramasonpiano]

I don’t think I know that one? I’ll have to have a listen.

[@MikeFuller-ok6ok]

@@laramasonpiano I hope you enjoy it!
