Piano Renditions
Notes from a successful 20 year self-employed Piano Musician and Recording Artist in the Charlotte NC Carolina Region
Friday, August 15, 2014
Thanks to all of the YouTube viewers for listening to the 51 Instrumental Hymns Video which is garnering nearly 10,000 views per day on YouTube. So many wonderful comments are very much appreciated. Also many have asked for the music to be available in CD Format. 51 Instrumental Hymns is available now on iTunes and Amazon Digital
Project #2. I have been working on an Instrumental Love Songs album for about 2 years. The reason for recording this album is the overwhelming response to the YouTube Video Endless Love Piano. I hope to have this album available by Christmas 2014. It will also be available in CD format and Digital Download Format.
Thanks again to all for your support which has allowed me to spend more time creating music for the listeners and sheet music for the pianists. I would not be possible without the fan-base. Thanks, John

Piano Love Songs
Often guests at my piano performances ask, John what is your favorite kind of music to play. I always answer, Romantic Piano Love Songs. Of all of the songs I have recorded for Youtube, the Piano Love Songs have garnered the most views. The most views go to my piano version of Endless Love which just hit 70,000 views this month, but I am hoping that a new video that I recorded this week will one day take over the top spot, I have titled it Piano Love Song (but it is really a cover of the Roberta Flack 1969 Song, First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Piano Version. Thanks to all of the Youtubers who gave their thumbs up (Liked) these videos.

Charlotte Stage and Audio Rentals
I have been in the music business for 24 years, and music runs in the family. Having performed on countless stages over the years, anywhere from a flatbed trailer to Symphony Bandshells and everything in between, it's nice to be on a stage that makes the performance even more meaningful, roomy, good lighting, shade from the sun etc. My brother Tim Troutman, a seasoned vocalist and musical entertainer has partnered with some family members to start a Stage & Audio Company in Charlotte NC.

Danny Boy Karaoke Sing A Long with Piano
I recorded Danny Boy several years ago, and it has really just been sitting around in a folder on my computer since then. Today as I was preparing for a St. Patricks Day music program for a local Retirement Community, it just hit me that people might enjoy a sing-a-long karaoke with scrolling words. So I put it together and I think it will be a great help to soloists needing a soundtrack of Danny Boy. The Free Karaoke (Piano by John Troutman) is streaming on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjlsLZq7cz8

Piano Music Video
For many years music fans have asked for me to use my piano music for background music to go along with artistic scenes of nature and wildlife. So I finished my first video today and it is titled, As The Deer (from Psalm 42). I hope you like it.
