Happy New Year & Auld Lang Syne, from the Sue and Steve Show

4 Comments by Steve / December 31, 2009 / Posted in Law of Attraction, Onstage Piano Lessons from a PRO

For 41 years I have been a piano player. I still love music as much as ever. And when you watch this video, you will feel my spirit playing for you. New Year’s has always been a mixture of happy and sad for me. But this year, I just don’t feel the sadness. I only [...]

Steve Style Cam 6 – Steel-Soul Change the Drive Train

1 Comment by Steve / February 6, 2009 / Posted in Onstage Piano Lessons from a PRO

This is the instrumental we play to open the nite with Steel-Soul. I like it how it has evolved into a song. Sometimes playing new songs feels more like going thru the motions hoping or pretending that they are going to matter. This song has grown big enough to no longer be a show opener, [...]

Steve Style Cam 5 – Kim Kuzma sings Chaka Khan, I Feel For You

0 Comment by Steve / January 22, 2009 / Posted in Onstage Piano Lessons from a PRO

I have gotten to work and co-create with some freakishly talented musicians… Call it luck, call it attraction or shared visions. It has been such a blessing to my life. I needed to become the best musician that I could become, and needed to “feel” my purpose of connecting to humanity thru entertaining with music. [...]

This is another tune from the Indestructibles repertoire. How many bands play this song? Must be at least 10,000. But it kind of takes on a new slant when 2 chick singers do it together… Note the confusion when I start the song, what key are we doing this in G or F? Steve <br [...]

Steve Style Cam 2 – Stevie Wonder I Wish

1 Comment by Steve / January 16, 2009 / Posted in Onstage Piano Lessons from a PRO

This is a wonderful Stevie Wonder tune called I Wish. Stevie is probably my all-time favorite writer, keyboard player and especially singer. Some people categorize me as a roots player. Others think of me as a technology geek. I do like using the buttons on my keyboards. In fact, I use the transpose button in [...]

Music Lessons – from a different perspective

3 Comments by Steve / January 15, 2009 / Posted in Onstage Piano Lessons from a PRO

I get asked about teaching piano fairly often. I love coaching my kids sports teams (hockey, baseball & soccer). Being the loud effervescent type of guy that I am, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch to teach some keyboard playing. I’m positive that I don’t want to teach one student at a time [...]
