Piano Bar Mystery (Original Song) Clone Effect

When I used to play at piano bars there would be occasional requests for a song where the person who requested the song did not know the title. Often the song was hard to figure out. I came up with this chord pattern which I played as a song when I became baffled, which was often. This is a chord pattern of C to B to C to A to D then G and back to C. The chorus is E to A to D to G. It often was identified as “Yep, that’s it.” I put words to the song when I performed it on the Gong Show as “A Brief Refrain.” Something to watch for in the video is the upper right end of the piano where some of the keys have been squished out. There are three black keys next to three black keys. The camera moved slightly when I did the second part of the clone video. I had to tweak it a lot to get it to have almost the same dimensions on the top and bottom. The lighting also was affected when the camera changed its position.
