  1. Ken, There are a couple of other keyboard players, but they aren't very active. I have felt like something of a red-headed stepchild to the acoustic guitarist majority. So, by all means, JOIN! :-)
  2. Here's a link to a live performance of a couple of my newer originals. The mike is stratragically located to hide my ugly mug - but the sound is quite good for a live recording. I have both songs scored for piano to anyone that's interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FnuMpD0Bb8 p.s. - The timing on the second one, "Citizens of the Earth", is a royal pain to play. p.p.s. - It's a Privia PX-310.
  3. Just added the Christmas tune from my CD to my myspace site, ("Childhood Christmas"), and thought I'd share it here. http://www.myspace.com/sandyhemenwaymusic
  4. Hi, I'm Sandy H, from Raleigh, NC. (why is it I get this feeling like I'm standing up at the front of an AA meeting?) Born in '62, I went the typical John Thompson route of piano lessons from age 6-17. About age 12 I got heavy into Elton John, (I believe John Thompson taught me how to read music - Elton John taught me how to PLAY music). Growing up, I was in a band here and there, (never to any measurable success), spent time gigging in coffee houses during my college days, and even enjoyed a short stint as house pianist at a little Italian restaurant in Chapel Hill. Started writing when I was 16. Averaged about 1 song per month for the next 10 years. Most of it is pure schlock. Then I packed up my gear and stopped playing out for about 10 years. In the late 90s, I returned to church, (after a 10+ year absence), and became the accompanist for my church choir, (I had also played for church growing up). Eventually, my creative juices got flowing again, and I started writing again. In 2004, I recorded and released my debut CD, "The Road Home", a collection of original inspirational pop/rock. http://cdbaby.com/cd/hemenway I've been playing local Unity churches for the last couple of years. Currently, my only equipment is a circa 1980 Yamaha Electric Grand, (for sale), and a Juno-106, (which has lost its programs). I'm currently looking at purchasing a portable digital piano, so I can open up venues that don't come pre-stocked with pianos. I can sight read just about anything short of Chopin, and while my improvisational skills are limited, they have been improving of late.
  5. New to the site, but here's a link to my myspace site, (4 audio clips and one video). http://www.myspace.com/sandyhemenwaymusic
