Quite some time ago I posted a guitar-only rendition of Classical Gas that I did on my 209. Back in 1994, when I got my first Clavinova, a CVP-83s, it was one of the first songs I recorded. I remember being thrilled to be able to be the whole band - LOL! The old CVP's didn't record in midi, and when I tried to convert the file, it ruined the drum track, and screwed up a bunch of settings. I had a little time this morning, so I re-recorded the drums and one of the string tracks. It still needs some TLC, but I thought I'd upload it if anybody would like to mess around with it.

Also, here's an mp3 of my old recording, not great quality, as I had to go to tape from my CVP, then to the computer back then:

Wow, a retro cvp-song. But your playing is as perfect as usual!
Great respect!

I know this thread is a bit dated, but I really enjoyed this recording. Listening to your recording has left me impressed as well as jealous. Extremely well done!
