I was testing the Kawai EX-Pro \r
A very interesting piano,the sound is warm and modern.It has 3 different\r
positions of microphone gift, Rime / Side, Player and Close. I played this song with the Close effect. \r
For each microphone position you can adjust the volume and pan.\r
I can freely suggest to those who love the piano sample, should not miss the Kawai EX-Pro.\r

Info about the song I played:\r
\r
The Good Life (1962 song)\r
\r
The Good Life (originally La Belle Vie in French) \r
is a popular song by Sacha Distel and 1934 born composer\r
Jack Reardon, published in 1962.\r
The song is best known in the English-speaking world as a 1963 recording by Tony Bennett.\r
He gained a number 18 hit on the U.S. pop singles chart with it; it also became one of his\r
rarer UK Singles Chart hits, making it to number 27 there. The Good Life became one of Bennetts \r
staple songs, and was featured on two of his top-selling albums, 1994s MTV Unplugged: Tony Bennett and 2006s \r
Duets: An American Classic, the latter featuring Billy Joel. Bennett also named his 1998 autobiography after the song. \r
As of 2009, he still performs the song live and often jokingly dedicates it to Britney Spears.\r
The Good Life was the theme song of the 2000 British gangster film, Gangster No. 1, and \r
it was also employed as a 2007 jingle for a line of pet foods of the same name. A Julie London \r
rendition was used by British Airways in its 2008 promotion of the new London Heathrow Terminal 5 facility.\r
