Hi, it's me!!

I wanted to build this page not only as a challenge for
myself, but also as a special place for you as a "picker upper".

Plus really, if I didn't do this I don't know when I would've
plugged in my synth to my computer.  Something to
get me off my lazy butt.

I hope the background music plays, otherwise copy the link
location at the bottom of the page and paste it to the address bar.
I tried using it with netscape without much success (autoplay)
so hopefully it works on your browser.

The piano music is indeed played BY me specifically FOR you. 
It took several takes to get it "right", although there are still a few mistakes
(you'll hear them as you go along)  Note that the music is
NON-REPEATING, it's just me trying to play a different version each time, not the computer
looping the sequence.  The computer completely flattened my articulations
and slaughtered my pedalling and voicing, so what I'm saying is that in real
life I play much better than this!!!!

The whole song should last about 4 minutes, so sit back and enjoy! 
Don't rush off somewhere in the middle, because
that'll kinda hurt my feelings, yeah?  :)

The lyrics to the song are as follows, see if you can follow along:

(actually, don't bother after the first 4 paragraphs, because the
music won't match it!!!  But read the words, I thought they were good and uplifting)

oh, and by the way, no connotations were meant when
I picked this song..... you know what I mean.  ;)
I really liked the melody.

Love at first sight
I knew it from the moment when you said hello
I hope you felt it too
but we were both so shy
How was I to know

When you reached for my hand
I knew you were the one
We laughed and talked for hours
Like I’d known you forever

Like a dream or something from a book
True love has found me

One star, brighter than the others
Two hearts beating for each other
Now I see wishes really come true You

just have to dream
Nothing’s as bad as it seems to be
Believe me

Someone‘s waiting for you to try
There in the sky
One star brighter than the others
2 hearts beating for each other

you will see
wishes really do come true
you can’t stop believing
wishes do come true
you gotta believe me
wishes do come true

Here are some pictures of my equipment:

and (right pic) my 2 keyboards with mic stand.

 

Hope you enjoyed this page.  I figured it was more personal than a quick email hello, yeah?

In case your thingy doesn't support frames or the music didn't play at all, download the midi file from the link below (right click and save to disk or paste the location to browser)... I know you'll figure it out somehow.
