    Imagine traveling back in time to an old west saloon and playing this banger on their piano. The patrons would go absolutely wild 🤠

    He's playing even more than Billy Joel did, because without the singer, this guy is incorporating the melody. Fantastic!

    You know someone has done a good job when you are singing along throughout ... let's face it, we know all the words... and here we are waving Brenda and Eddie good-bye.
    Very clever, arranging and playing the piano part, the vocal part _and_ the saxophone. Superb.

    I started playing piano for about three quarters of a year ago. I have seen amazing progress.
    Playing blues and rock, and incorperating some jazz in there too. New York state of mind is fun to play, all kinds of Elton John tunes too.
