Sheesh! Y'all went through it! The end result was stunning. And it is a lovely piano. Is there such a thing as piano envy? If so, I have it.

Gary Henderson

This is one of my FAVORITES of your videos. I mean...just plain and simple LOOKING (although maybe a pain to shoot).

Maria Rydström

This song was one of my fathers favorite ones and i heard it often in my childhood.

Ginia (gin-ya)

So much more time and work to create these than I ever realized!

Jen

Were there's a will there's a Way

Nerdy Wordy Princess

Your hard work paid off. It came out beautiful! Awesome job G&K and your little helper W. ✌️❤️🎶

Angie Woollard

What a wonderful look at how you managed to pull through so many frustrating situations together. I respect and admire the HECK outta you two. ❤️

Katie D

Thank you so much for this! So sorry for all the frustrations in getting this video made, but it turned out lovely. Happy New Year to you, Kathy, and William! 💖

Tine

Ohhhh gosh. So many hiccups.. So sorry to hear of all the frustrations. I'm glad this song was a passion project for Geoff at least. What a marvelous and wonderful final product you gave us. And so lovely for you to have the new piano to bring even more music into your home🥰 Thank you for everything you do for us! Happy NYE and best wishes for 2023!❤️

Lady D Richter

Sorry y'all had a crap time with this 🙁 But the final piece was absolutely gorgeous! This song has been stuck in my head since I first saw it. Even though I had heard the original before, you make it stick!

Melisendre

What a nice surprise! I didn't expect another video this month. Thank you for the bts and happy new year!

Jay

thank you, fun BTS as always 😊

Jordi S

Thank you so much. These are so nice to see, we really appreciate all the extra work to make them.

Jordi S

We really appreciate all the work to make your videos too!!

Olivia

Sorry all the hiccups happened, but it turned out beautiful! And my dad is the biggest keyboard nerd, I’m sure this story will be especially riveting for him.

Dominique

Oh man, you made me cry again, for the umpteenth time in the past few days. I'm sorry you had such a rough time with this and Kathy I hope you feel better by now. Definitely take a long time off from trying to get everything done before the end of the month to have a finished song out for us. We'll be waiting patiently until you are ready to blow our minds again. Instead please take care of you and your wonderful family. Have a wonderful, healthy and hopefully a less stressful but still very successful 2023!

Lutra2732

Thank you so much. I always enjoy the BTS. And the piano story is great.😊

Tara Congo

Nothing ever runs smoothly, does it? You two are absolutely incredible, though, pushing through the craziness and coming out with such a gorgeous end product. Hope 2023 is filled with joy, success, and considerably less stress in every way ♥

Randiskye

Talk about suffering for your art. Let me add my appreciation for the herculean effort you and Kathy always put into these videos. Loved the outcome with Kathy's dad. There seems to be a long running theme with you and pianos. 😆 Happy New Year all!

Sandy Mrotek

All I can say and always say is I LOVE the BTS videos. It shows how much work and talent you both do to make it happen. I am sorry about the problems you have BUT you both make things work out for the best possible recording to come through and we all love you for that. Have a wonderful new year and we will be looking forward to what you produce next year.

doug muchow

And a happy new year to you and yours! Your music videos made this past year a whole lot brighter, thank you for sharing!!

Carol Franklin

Just know all your efforts are greatly appreciated this is a brilliant song & a fantastic video. Also I’m not saying you & pianos are cursed I’ll just say storage unit, out of tune, Amazon, 3rd floor no lift! Happy New Year.

Laura Harris

Ouch. After all the problems with the piano, to have to reshoot everything… yeah, I’d be calling it a day! Glad it worked out in the end, beautiful final piece from you both.

Debbie Buck

Thank you for all the joy and beauty you both bring to our lives. Happy New Year to you, Kathy and William!

Badger77722

Always love the BTS videos - gives us a small idea of just how much work it takes to put one of these videos together! Man, this was not only a work of art, but a labor of love - you had so many problems, it's amazing you both managed to keep it together enough to finish the project! Watching the video, I never even considered how much trouble it could be to match up playing the piano to the playback, but I think the finished project speaks for itself - so warm and romantic, it really does sound like a hug to everyone listening.

Mikey

Geoff can I ask where or is there any way to get the music sheet for the piano or did it all come up in your head

Arlene Jacobs

Wow you had a lot of stuff happen that day but it all came together beautifully in the end! And what a beautiful piano. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play, so it’s even more beautiful to see you play.

Suzy Bailey

Bless you both for continuing to push through being ill and lack of sleep and all the annoying hiccups. We ended up with a most beautiful video! You both have my utmost respect for everything you do. Now take a well deserved rest, you've earned it! 😊💜

Sarah Borzelli

AWWW I already appreciate your music/videos a LOT because the end result is amazing. I was kinda aware of how much work you put into your projects but now actually seeing all the obstacles you had to overcome makes me appreciate it even more! Seeing this I wanted to send Kathy and you a big hug! Why does life give you so many exams to pass? Maybe it's because you are already so advanced and you need extra difficult exams to go further? Like pooping birds or piano issues. OR you might need to study that bible to save your soul? Who knows? (btw it wasn't me) Lot's of love and Happy New Year! Something entirely off topic: I can't see your BTS on my computer (MacBook) but on my Android phone I can see them - it's only with your BTS, I can see VoicePlay BTS and all the other videos. (this is only since the one chip challenge video - the ones before I can see) So I was wondering if other people have the same issue and if you maybe have changed to a special format you post those (I already posted this problem to the Patreon help center, I hope they find out) sorry to bother you! Ok off I go (when my daughter gets to sleep) to watch "Till Then" on repeat (if teary eyes permit)

Amanda Nott

While watching the end result of the videos, it looks so effortless. However, seeing the behind the scenes stuff gives a new appreciation for all of the hard work that goes into making a video. Thanks for sharing, take some well deserved time off to spend with your family, and we will be waiting to see what you come up with for 2023!

Judy Wilde

No matter how well you work together, it must seem lonely to just have the two of you on the shoot. No Layne or Cesar to make you laugh. No extra eyes to spot things like the tie. Please know how much we appreciate your efforts and how much joy you bring to your fans with these videos. Thank you!

Ann Durham

You poor babies! But persistence paid off. I so appreciate you making these BTS videos. The final product looks so effortless that it's hard to comprehend the work that goes into it.

Mikki Fullerton

Oof on the tie, that was a rough one! But thanks for pushing through the hurdles to put out such a beautiful piece this month. Enjoy that January off and thank you again for the BTS!

Gillian Drysdale

you are both amazing and please do give yourself a break in January you deserve it and what’s more you probably need it. We will wait for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

MILADA VRABKLíKOVÁ

I am happy to see you, Kathy , you are excelent !!!! I love you !!!

Helen A

You really do have the most interesting piano-related adventures! *thinking back to Shenandoah*

Melissa Randall

I love watching these! It doesn't destroy the magic for me - instead it makes me appreciate more what you do! Happiest of Holidays to your and yours from me and mine.

Alison L

... and a Happy New Year to you and your family too. Thankyou for sharing your music (and the BTS) with us

Sarah Borzelli

A SONG SUGGESTION: as I wasn't prepared when you asked in the premiere's chat I might just spat out some silly stuff, but now something came to my mind: Whaddabout "MAMBO ITALIANO" by Dean Martin? I mean: with your Name you gotta make something Italian right? PLUS there is the word PIZZA in it...what more are you asking for? And we might see you dance again...with Kathy? and make pizza at the same time! or "That's Amore" - ...when the moon hits your eye like a big PIZZA-pie, that's amore! anything with Pizza is good - sorry I'm still a mess after your song and VP's stuff! No seriously I really can see you do this one.

Jacky Friedman

Besides helping you make better videos and all, the behind the scenes videos is one of the reasons I joined your and Voiceplay Patreons. I love seeing what all you guys do to make your videos. I get to see your families. And y'all's true selves. Not just the video selves. Love you 💖😘

Amanda Hovendon

And what a gorgeous video it turned out to be❤️ Happy New Year to you and Kathy.

Amanda Hovendon

And seriously. Thank you guys for everything. I’m glad to be apart of this❤️❤️❤️

Caroline Larochelle

So much work... You two are simply amazing! William is so adorable with his teddy bear. He looks so happy! Happy New Year and thank you. Every time, we get a glimpse of how wonderful your family and your friends are. Take care.

Jay Fritz

You did such an amazing job with this one--no "C'mon," but I guess it can't be worked into every song. Thanks for sharing the great piano massacre and the undone tie thing with us. "They watch our videos, and think our life is so glamorous..... if they only knew." Happy New Year to you and Kathy and William.

Ellen L Brownell

You mentioned during Chat that you might take a break. Please, please, please do it. You and Kathy work so dang hard making these videos for us to enjoy so I think it's fair that you go have a vacation and relax. Be assured we will all be right here when you get back. Have a Happy New Year Geoff, Kathy, William and Clayton.

Gretchen G

The pianos are definitely out to get you guys! Oh well, every group of superheroes needs an archenemy, I guess. 😅 I'm glad you were able to capture and befriend one of the pianos in the end. Thank you both for all your hard work. I hope you have a nice break in January and a Happy New Year!

Lexy Wolfe (aka Pam)

I miss playing the piano. One day, I'll have one again. Bonus, if it's electric, I am hoping I can wear headphones so I'm not driving everyone around me crazy practicing scales and stuff to remember how to do it. And yes, if you guys need to take a break, just let us know so we're not worrying you fell off the Earth or some crazy thing. I'd rather you take a break than burn out. Nothing good ever comes from burnout.

Jill Weimer Koeninger 🐉

My parents just celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary. This song reminds me of them during their dating years before walking down that isle to say their "I do's". After high school each went to do their separate things...my dad went into the Navy and my mom went to nursing school. Once reunited, they were completely in love from then on. I am blessed to still have them both with me. December 29, 1949 and still going strong!

Alex Walker

Nooooooo!! I wanted to see Kathy in her dress! 💕 That was a wonderful and touching performance! I keep on listening to it, but still couldn't make it all the way without crying! Happy New Year, everybody!

Karen & Lauren

On a positive 🎶 or so to end the year, after all the piano struggles, perhaps you'll never have to worry about it being out of tune in the future. 😉 And perhaps it can be put to use in teaching W how to play.

Zena Darling

Yeah, buying an instrument from Amazon sounds like a terrible idea... Glad everything worked out in the end, it sure came together for a beautiful video! Thank you and Happy New Year!

Shirley B Karr

The description of you guys schlepping a piano down two flights of stairs gave me a flashback to the Friends episode where Ross and Chandler are trying to carry a sofa up the stairwell. ("Pivot! Pivot!") Hope your adventure was less stressful. Thanks so much for the BTS video. The final product is fabulous and looks effortless due to the hard work from both of you. Wishing the whole Castellucci family a happy, healthy, and creative new year!

Eric

Thank you two (and others) for making these pieces of art for us all to enjoy. Have a healthy(-er) New Year and all prosperity to your family.

Amanda Yarbro

Glad you got to keep the piano in your home, after all that trouble. I enjoy the BTS videos. It was such a beautiful video!

Crisstina Joubert

The amount of work you and Kathy put into your visions is astounding. This is such a lovely song/video, makes me think of my Grandparents in WWII, so thank you.❤ Hope you and your family enjoy your piano for many, many years!

Kathy Castellucci

You’d be happy to know that Geoff was actually yelling “Pivot!” on the stairs during this.

Shannon D

What an adventure 😜. Thank you both for all your hard work to bring us such amazing music. I hope you do take next month off from this channel at least and get a little break. Happy New Year!

Janet Towles

Thanks for the BTS! They are my favorite perk! I was hoping to see a shot of Kathy in her pretty dress too 🥰hugs to her for all of her hard work!

Brontesaurus Rex

As the Halloween tradition hopefully never becomes "reshoot everything," hopefully the New Year tradition won't become "stressful piano nonsense." XD

Casi Pohlman

Bts are my favorite perk! Thank you for sharing. Now go get some rest and feel better Kathy. Happy New Year

Tracie Schlaak

Love it and love you guys. Happy New Year! I hope you get some time off. 😊

Alex Sage

Thank you geoff, for fueling my ever growing love for your personality. Videos like this do just that. I love seeing this side of things. Happy New Year, Geoff! Love you guys!

Christine Stromberg

Oh Geoff I'm in tears again. You guys have my utmost admiration and gratitude. To see the patience and dedication that went into this, on top of the talent and skills we know you all possess is just overwhelming. I am old, very old, approaching twice your age, but you touch my heart in ways no one else does. And that goes for the whole bunch of you, such special people. Health and Happiness to you all.

Cynthia Ross

I…I feel bad for literally laughing out loud at that. Not bad enough to stop snickering, but…it’s there. 😆

Cynthia Ross

Ugh. What a time. Yes, you two deserve a break. Please please PLEASE take some time to relax and destress. I’d rather miss a month here and there than see burnout hit. Try those floating sensory deprivation tanks if claustrophobia isn’t an issue. Those things are instant zen. Much love to you two and may this shoot be the last one that gets obnoxious on you. 🥰

Jacklinka

Another chapter in piano stories and the happy ending! Hope the next time you will skip all the piano troubles. Thank you guys, hard work but in the end you get this beautiful masterpiece!

Sarah Borzelli

I fixed the problem - just for you and others to know it was a problem of the browser (I use safari) - I downloaded the new chrome-browser and there I can see your videos

Chere' Evans

wow - what a day. It was a beautiful result, but definitely one of those days. (or week, as it were). Hope you got a good break over the holidays.
