I
need to come up with a piano part for Things Have Gone and Changed. I dug out
my keyboard from storage, but of course it doesn’t work anymore. It’s been
years since I last used it.
I
found myself at Saint Vincent DePaul’s yesterday. They have a bunch of old
pianos for sale. I was timidly and without drawing to much attention to myself
trying to work out a part. I’d put some time in and then walk around and look
at shirts and shoes only to go back to the piano to work on the part. I can
hear the part in my head, but I wasn’t able to transfer it to the piano under
the circumstances. It’s a mild Liberace part in E minor.
I
came back to my studio and found a website called pianochord.com. I opened up
the chords that I needed and played them against the song on my computer on the
fly. I’d press the play chord button on the website in real time against the song. I
still don’t have the Liberace part, but I have the rest of it figured pretty
well.
