Just outstanding.....I love his style and his music is easy for me to pick up and play. Of course; I do always practice; I love hearing his style; over and over. And; the people I play it for are most generous with their compliments. I have two books now; Hymns with a Velvet Touch and Gospel Hymns with a Velvet Touch. I live in Virginia; in a retirement home; and play for the church services here. I want his Christmas book and will have it by Fall! I was an organist for 53 years; both pipe and electric; from 2 to 5 manuals in churches across the U.S. Due to physical incapacity; I am only playing the piano now; but Im still going strong and only 85! Thank you; Tom Fettke....5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. WONDERFULLY PLAYABLE; WONDERFULLY "VELVET"By Eager ReaderTom Fettke...for any church pianist seeking playable arrangements that are luxuriously flowing; his name is magic. I have all Tom Fettkes piano books (wishing there were many more); use them regularly for evening services; and occasionally adapt his arrangements for Sunday morning on the organ as well. While his books are generally labeled "early advanced;" I dont consider myself more than an upper intermediate; but have always been able to play Fettkes music with very little practice; getting great pleasure from his "velvet" arrangements and receiving lots of good comments from my congregation. Tom Fettke is my #1 favorite arranger for Christian piano music.(To those of you non-music-major organists out there; Lani Smith is probably my favorite for organ.)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Like this ArrangerBy Library Lady - CAFettkes arrangements are not too difficult. Yet; they are melodic; varied; and add much to services. I will try more of his work.
