Golden Memories Piano Requests with Steve Dallas

Golden Memories Piano Requests with Steve Dallas, banner
Show Host:
Steve Dallas

Steve Dallas, pianist, harpist, singer enjoys a full time career in music in North Eastern Ohio. His mainstay has always been the church but Steve has logged lots of hours in piano bars and general entertainment situations. With the declining economy restaurants seem to be less willing (at least around here!) to routinely employ a pianist, so it seems I’m busier playing the harp for weddings and funerals of late! Maybe that’s when I started thinking “Why not create a piano bar of sorts with a wider audience?” Voila! Enter BBS Radio. Or I should say enter Debrah, Doug and Don who chatted with me like a real person, and have made this endeavor seem within reach. Kudos to you all at BBS who have the courage to follow their dream with a heart for service! Thank you!

And certainly give me a call with your song request (see listing of available numbers) and we’ll see if I can play it on the spot! Well, I may have to put you off a week, but we’ll have some fun getting acquainted!

Feedback:

Heard your rendition of Bill Evan's "Waltz for Debbie" on a past show- very nice!
I am neither a professional musician nor a jazz critic, but in my humble opinion
what made Bill Evans great was his ability to improvise without losing the
beauty of the melody.  He is the most romantic (I don't mean this in a
degrading sense) jazz pianist I have ever heard.

I was wondering if you could play "Beautiful Love" - in your best Bill Evans
tradition. Thank you for your wonderful show - truly enjoy it!

Feedback:

Steve,

Thank you so much for playing "Waltz for Debbie by Bill Evans again for me .
. .you know how much Bill Evans means to me and you convey his "cluster
chordings" so well - he would be proud!  I am of you!  You will have to send
me that sheet music sometime.

Valentine's Day is coming up and I am gearing up for hearing songs like "The
Shadow of Your Smile", "The Days of Wine and Roses", "My Funny Valentine",
"Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most", "Beautiful Love" . . . and that
anniversary song you wrote!!!

You are such a 'gem' on the BBS Radio Network Steve  - we have never had a
show like yours!!! Thank you for coming into our lives and bringing your
wonderful music - hugs and kisses to you and Janice . . .

Love, Debrah

I noticed that your time slot has changed to the evening. Since I work during the day it now makes it easier for me to listen to your show. There is one song I would like to request which is Moon River. Breakfast @ Tiffany's was my late wife's and I favorite film. She especially liked that song. It would be great if you would play it on your next show.

Thanks again for your show.

Thank you so much for remembering and playing John Denver - he is missed - and it was wonderful hearing this on your harp - I never thought I would like harp music, but you have changed my mind entirely! Love your show - its like having my own piano bar in my living room and I don't get out much anymore - thank you and your wife Janis for bringing me the kind of music I like - loved the whole show - bless you both.

Steve - Thank you for playing "Sheep May Safely Graze" by Bach (on your debut show) on Harp - I usually hear it only on piano, but the Harp was lovely - truly lovely!! Love your show!!!
