    Bro, let's be very clear. You are not a "street pianist" you are a pianist who chooses to perform your art in the street. My brother, you are the truth, and you are greatly appreciated by those of us who understand. They can call you gifted, talented, etc. The truth is you are YOU. Elite in your craft. Undeniably great! Peace!

      Young people expect to be visually and acoustically bombarded now by any kind of entertainment. They do not want to (and perhaps can't?) put any effort, focus or concentration into the experience. So they can't relate to this kind of music at all. They think rap is music!

    Such a beautiful rendition of a great song you did here. You made it sound like one of Mozart's or Bach's piano pieces yet very contemporary as well. Music is so amazing - you never know out of all the people passing by there or watching the video who might become inspired enough to want to learn to play piano themselves or to take an interest in music or the arts in some way. All it takes is for someone to hear something different to what they're used to musically and it can help a person to find a talent that they never knew they had! That's why live music like this in public spaces is so important. It can change someone's day, even if they didn't seem to hear it or acknowledge it. People hear music with their hearts as well as their ears that's why it will always be a part of our lives! Thank you. God Bless you 🙂🙏
