As a way of showing our appreciation, Sara and I are talking about doing a video of “I’ll Stand by you”. I can grab the karaoke version of the song as a backing track, and play Chrissy’s singing part over it on the cello. Sara will stand next to me and sign the lyrics. In post production I will overlay the lyrics onto the video. All I have to do is:
- Get good enough on the cello to pull it off
- Learn the melody
It’ll take some time, but I think it’ll be worth the effort. I’m still in the early learning stages on the cello, but If I can master it as fast as I did the bass, it’ll be a short order. This gives me some extra incentive to fight the cancer even harder and stay alive long enough to get this done.

Fun fact: The cello is the only instrument which perfectly mimics the range of the human voice.
Expect me to be doing a lot of covers of vocals (once I master this lovely beast).

what’s cool is that you will be able to get easily a lot of karaoke tracks with the lyrics already removed

An additional bonus: there is an abundance of scores of popular songs available online with the lyrics, which saves me from hours of transcribing and composing. They’re in treble clef, but I am able to read that nearly as well as I read bass clef, so no problem.
I have already acquired the score for I’ll Stand by You" and have begun practicing it.

Thanks guys! I wanted to do a good job with this. 
I should also mention that I got into recording because of Pam and John_E’s threads, and, even though I didn’t use it for this, I bought the Zoom B1X because of Pam’s approval (at least that made it easier).
Have a good week!
Antonio
