Alex Gandy - Northern Meeting (Inverness) MSR 2018

After having to have my computer wiped clean, I was worried that I had lost this recording. Rather than run into that again, I figured I would share it on here. This is the recording of my MSR from Inverness in 2018 where I was lucky enough to win and receive a Silver Star. As of right now, there are only three people outside Scotland that have won this event. Jack Lee, Bruce Gandy, and myself.

It truly does not get any better than this...Talk about playing in the zone

[@flytipper1730]

Lovely crisp playing and phrasing

A fantastic performance Alex. Most illustrious company you keep, but no luck about it. Plenty of sweat and tears though!

Thanks for posting - glad you found the recording.

As i get older (82) i find i miss more doublings. An F doubling here, a C doubling there…maybe my thumb misses the touch on a high A doubling. Thus, i can predict that Alex will miss a gracenote or two after age 150. Until then he can bask in perfection.
