Over the years, my performance work has garnered some very interesting reviews.
These are a few of my favourites.
As pop keyboard performer in leading taverns across the land:
“Play something we can dance to!”
“Play something we know!”
“Play something you know!”
As reluctant organist at a granola-ish wedding:
(in a very loud ‘stage whisper’)
“The music’s bothering me. Or rather, the lack of it.”
As solo pianist, rehearsing privately:
(agitated shouting from the alley below)
“I don’t want to hear your music.
She don’t want to hear your music.
Nobody wants to hear your music!”
As piano soloist with Upstream:
“…romped around the keyboard like a killer whale at showtime in the public aquarium, splashing tidal waves of notes all over the spectators.” (Stephen Pedersen, Chronicle Herald).
As pianist with the Paul Cram Orchestra:
“The most notorious offenders against the mainstream values [include] pianist Steven Naylor…” (Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star)
