Musical Bingo #24 – ‘The Dancing Man’

Had a really fun show last week at the Saturday Market in Corvallis. I recorded the first half of the show and hope to pull a few from here (if I can…). I wrote the basic structure of this after a story about ‘Dancing Mike’ appeared in the Daily Barometer in hopes that he’d come by during the show. Sadly, he did not, but I played it anyway! As with many of the sounds on the #Korg #Kronos2, it really only matters ‘a little’ what chords I play… the sound itself has so much fun and energy that you can let go and just have fun with it.

For those that were there and were wondering what that song you recognized was… click ‘continue reading’ for the [EPIC] setlist. (a sneak peak for the Albany folks: I’ll be there on 08/29!)
