ShiroKuro OK, apologies for derailing the thread, but now I can't resist... any excuse to post a link to this great song:

ShiroKuro There are a lot of songs in that list that could fit into the "Blues or Traditional" category (the June PIYW, which we'll be voting on soon). Coincidentally, I had already put "You are my sunshine" into the suggestion box. If there are any other tunes you'd like to learn, you should add more suggestions. (You too @Nightowl)

ShiroKuro

rsl12 I added Amazing Grace and I second You Are My Sunshine. 🙂

Reminder that we have 2 weeks left to submit for Over The Rainbow!

Two weeks and only one submission so far! Congratulations to @Sophia, who has been living struggle-free for more than a month now!

Sophia

Haha that is mainly because I chickened out on anything but the kiddie version 😃 But... I know we have had at least two forum participants who recorded Over the Rainbow for a previous recital. Are you guys recording it again or submitting your previous version? I'm sure both would count, right @rsl12?

Yes, that's allowed. The more the merrier!

WieWaldi Is it okay, if I post a video of someone else playing my version?

Why don't you invite him over here? Then he can play his piece his way, and you can play his piece your way.

WieWaldi

I am very jealous of Sophia, because I am still struggling with the version I want to play.

WieWaldi Ha ha ha, as long as they're playing it "your way" - that's the main thing! 😂

Sophia

WieWaldi Well, that is about the most brilliant idea I have read in a long time 😁 There is no quicker, smoother and more convenient way to share our progress --> perfect!

WieWaldi

Nightowl Sure. He is playing it exactly as I would, if I could.

Nightowl

WieWaldi So, if he's playing it your way, there should be no problem! 🙃

Ha! I simply knew you would come up with a suitable solution ^_^

By the way everyone, APRIL FOOLS! We aren't really doing "Over the Rainbow" for April. I hope everyone is relieved!
