That's a really interesting and vurtish take on the theme and I'm looking forward to the finished product. In "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" I always thought that the devil should have won the contest because he played the fiddle in a far more inventive way than Johnny and it sounded awesome. I wish you all the best in this contest.

Well, as cover versions go, it's quite different from Billy Joel's original. Regarding the mix, the vocal could probably come forward a bit more, it's difficult to make out the lyrics in some parts.

Neat work, vurt. One of my favorites so far. Did you do it all with hardware only ?

Best,

On a MIDI keyboard?

And FYI, from what I've observed there have been very few accomplished keyboard players participating in the contest. In fact, one whose name escapes me right now I think used to win frequently because he had special piano playing skills that folks tend to admire so much.

the contest is just for fun

never aim to win, only to try something i might not otherwise

the eventual entry might be less strange, not sure yet

thanks for listening
