I finally got home from Europe late this afternoon.I had to do the grocery and rush for 2 hours of tennis and I am finally home .
I was thrilled to meet Vanessa. Absolutely charming and a real passionate of music. She has 2 great little dogs that are quite cute. I was a very enjoyable afternoon of making musing punctuated with laughter. I was also great to have dinner and talk about other stuff.
As I told her before I leave, I was intimidated to play with her as her playing level is so much more above mine. But not once I felt in my struggling that it was annoying to her on the contrary, she was always helpful and without stress. Playing music with her made me feel a better player. She is able to start anywhere in the song add a few things on the fly . She is definitely communicating her music passion, and one can only feel upbeat about it.
I will get back to you tomorrow with all your nice comments

Ness and Marc:
Like others, I would never imagine that only a few days worth of practice were there. I am really enjoying all of these get togethers and am so thankful that TG has made them possible. You two did a great job and I hope you will be able to get together again sometime to play some more!

That was great to watch - right from the intro, excellently played by Marc (which Vanessa seemed to be enjoying so much it looks like she nearly misses her cue!) through a great piano solo and with those amazing vocals that we've come to expect from Vanessa. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great collaboration! And you two looked like you had a blast.
Congratulations on a fantastic upload!

Thank you Dennis, even though I had not practice this song for a long time ( a week and a half , is very short for me as I am not a quick learner). But playing with Ness is very reassuring, as she can point out timing issues or short cuts to keep up with the beat.
Thank you Tony, I had work with guitar pro trying to follow with that to help, I was still not totally ready, but Ness compensated for that
Hi Kevin, thanks for your comments, when we said it could be better I was referring to my playing which was OK for the time of practicing but I would have love to make it perfect to match Ness' playing. I am self criticizing all the time
Hydroman, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Willem, too bad you could not make it. When I was at Ness' place, you sent a text message that your recording went very well with your choir, glad it worked. Yes Ness could be the leader of a band and probably was in the different bands she was in.
Tom, glad you enjoyed
Hi Jason, thank you for your good comments, I learned more about the song structure in a few hours with Ness, than my time of practicing on my own. The issues that I had are corrected and I can follow the original quite well now.
Hi Stuart, I guaranty you, Ness is not missing a single beat anywhere anytime, she is just in control of her playing.
Hi Bob, so are traveling as well
Mark, it was truly a lot of fun, I have missed Al video I am going to see it now
Thanks Al, yes it was fun, glad you enjoyed
