Played and recorded on my Yamaha Tyros 2.

(Took me around 4 hours of brain stress to get this loaded.)

Reminded me of the Seekers, blimey that takes me back nearly 40 years!

Nice one DW, not played a Tyros myself, I've got a Yamaha EL70 and there's also a Yamaha DGX620 Electric piano as well in the house which I play occasionally.

Regards

Very nice DW----But I am at a loss why its called water. Maybe its the name of the tune?
As you can tell, I am not musically inclined (to say the least).

The title of the tune is "The water is wide" an American folk tune.

Steve Jones, I also came into Yamaha via around three big beasts but space became a problem (and price) and converted to keyboards.

John,

I've had various over the years the previous one to the EL70 was an HS6, I always tend to go for this type as they can be collapsed down into separate pieces, which came in useful when I used to work with a singer a good few years ago.

Yes the HS6 was the last one I had.

Seen one or two HS8 going cheaply,

I was on the previous forum but not the one you've linked to.

Thanks for the link

Sounds like you've got a bit of "Carrickfergus" in there.

I found myself listening for:

"But the water is wide and I cannot swim over,
Neither have I the wings to fly,
Wish I could meet with a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and I.

This is the version I remember from my distant childhood.
