my music store: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store **this tune will be on my next CD - I came up with this jam recently so I don't have it available yet. thanks for all the emails and interest in it! can't wait til it's done (hopefully in December). just havin some fun with a guitar sound (Hard Ramp AS1&2) on the Motif XS8. Some have asked about the "low notes" that come out when I hit those two keys up top - those are guitar effects built in the patch and for whatever reason, Yamaha put those effects on the high keys. I made the background beat using FL Studio. I start the beat by hitting the space-bar on my computer keyboard before I play on the synth. PS. I've read some reviews of this vid as if I'm trying to be a "keytar" player (apparently not a desirable thing, but how can you not like Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein") and that I should just play a real guitar. LOL @ some of those same people who probably play guitar hero (nothing against it but hopefully you see my point)! The irony! The point is, folks, if you find a fun/inspiring sound to jam with, by all means, you should JAM WITH IT! I don't care if you find a $3.00 plastic trumpet. Don't worry about the technicalities and what people say. In the long run it's about the fun that YOU have making music. Thanks for watching!!!

Zach, the drummer for the band STS9, asked me to remix a song of theirs. His drums from "Beyond Right Now" ended up inspiring me to make a whole new tune. I'll update here when I know where/when it'll be available to download. I got a ton of emails from friends telling me to check these guys out so I was excited when they contacted me and I owe thanks to them for inspiring me to create this collab tune. They have some great jamz and interesting sounds. Check them out: http://www.sts9.com My Second album is still in the works - taking longer than I thought. Albums are tough when you're going about it by yourself. LOL. But so far so good. I'm truckin along and HOPING for a December digital release (unfortunately a physical CD will be available 6 weeks after I release the digital copy). you can download my first album here: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store

I love this song,very touchy.Not mine.My goal is to have this video honored at least once. "Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then Spin me around 'til I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end How I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again When I and my mother would disagree To get my way, I would run from her to him He'd make me laugh just to comfort me Then finally make me do just what my mama said Later that night when I was asleep He left a dollar under my sheet Never dreamed that he would be gone from me If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him I'd play a song that would never, ever end 'Cause I'd love, love, love To dance with my father again Sometimes I'd listen outside her door And I'd hear how my mother cried for him I pray for her even more than me I pray for her even more than me I know I'm praying for much too much But could you send back the only man she loved I know you don't do it usually But dear Lord she's dying To dance with my father again Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream"
