I played this song for my family cat Polo, whose loyalty, intelligence and friendship surpassed those of any cat I had ever come to know. He was closer to me than a brother since I was not yet 11 years old - we had him since he was 7 weeks old, and he passed away on 12/28/2011 at the age of 14. He even liked to walk on our piano's keyboard when he wanted attention as a kitten - just as some of the cats in this BGA do. Farewell Polo kitty - our whole family misses you dearly and we will see you in Heaven someday. This is the last chance I'll get to play Fiesta EX for months. So, on my fourth time playing Fiesta EX and only my sixth time playing a mix newer than NXA, this is my first try at Turkey March Minimal Tunes S17. This was filmed at a private location - I played with valius (Kevin) and mrclickman (Roberto), along with several of Roberto's friends. His niece was playing the S8 in this video. There was a fairly large party going on so there was a good bit of background noise. This is a tough 17 because it moves around a lot, the runs are long, and the cut is almost two minutes. The song actually covers most of the original Mozart piece (Turkish March or Rondo Alla Turca) and follows the harmony well with its background instrumental work. I knew about some of its tricks (after all the chart is a little older by now), but some of the runs could've been a lot cleaner. But I'm happy with the Stage pass for now. I don't have much to say about the S8 except that it looks more like an S10 to me.
