Steemit Open Mic Week 96- "Breakin' Up is Hard to do" by Neil Sedaka, performed live with and original midi accompaniment

In my 'real life' music incarnation, I play music for folks
In Retirement, Assisted Living and Nursing home venues.
I've played piano for 52 yrs, but I found that to put on a
Better show, I needed to be able to walk around and
Interact with my audience, so I got a wireless mic
System (also a mic on a stand got in the way of
Reading music or lyrics on the piano music rack.
I started out buying midi files:
"Musical Instrument Digital Interface" but that
Became expensive, so I learned how to use
Anvil Studios Midi Editing software to
Create my own Midi's.

So now, I tell my clients I am a "One Man Band" then I
Point to the keyboard and PA system and say
"There's the band, y'all pay me to haul them around.
I play for free"


So I recorded this entry last night along with my midi for
'Breakin up is hard to do', by Neil Sedaka
I hope you all enjoy my rendition.
