"Midnight In New Orleans!" Bishop R.P. Hall

Post by Bishop Ronnie P Hall »

Hello my fellow steelers,
Here is a melody that I composed sometime ago after hurricane Katrina passed through that historic city. It is a melody reminiscent of the days of "Storyville", and the "French Ouarter," when all music seemed to evolve from deep within the soul.
I must warn you though, to "buckle up", when the transition from "steel" to "organ" takes effect after the melody has been set. At that time I was still trying to get control of the effect. I`m still trying! Enjoy!(I hope!) :? : :whoa: :lol: ;-)

Hey Ron my friend...Love it !!!
I have loved New Orleans Jazz and Blues since I was about 14..played banjo in Jazz Band then
One of my ambitions was to go to N'awlins...which I achieved the year before Katrina....made friends with Jazz Musos....Hung out in places I had read about and dreamed about

Another winner Ron. Thats the way it should be played. I saw nothing wrong with your "Transition". It sounded great, and added a little more flavour. Thanks much for sharing.

Hi Guys! :)
I am truly sorry, to be so late in responding to your encouraging comments and remarks, but being that I am still a "serving" clergy person, there are some very rough "time" constraints sometimes, therefore I just can`t seem to keep everything in balance, but, I try! :)
Thanks to: Tony (Davis), John (McGothlin),and George (Brown), for all of your encouragement concerning this piece, for I am always pushing the envelope concerning the music in the style that I play. I am "Thankful", you enjoyed it! God Bless all!
