I'm watching this video while the Packers and Bears are on in the background and am recalling taking Henry Butler to the Niners -Falcons game at Candlestick in 2002 and the 49ers scored on a third-and-goal at the far end of the stadium and Henry shouted "He's in!" before I could tell what was happening: he was a football fan and had such amazing hearing that he could hear the sound of the fans close to the action reacting with glee for the touchdown and report it to me faster and as acurately as I could see; he could beat the officials on the play.
@Nyamonymous Anytime someone plays Scott Joplin fast, they're spitting on the guy's work. Joplin always insisted that his ragtime had to be played elegantly and not too fast. The tempo here is fine, too, even though this is almost entirely unlike the original.

R.I.P. Dear friend Henry, You are missed greatly.
Simply fabulous!
Awesome. RIP

WOW! Thank you!!! Shared on Google+ & Facebook, January 13, 2019
How can he play so accurate without miss the note?
Henry is a giant. For 2013, he will be featured at the Ruth Davies Blues Night at Stanford Jazz:
look at stanfordjazz for details.
Anyone disliking this video must be jelous!

Fantastic !
i saw hiim todayyy in grammy awards museum in LA
Pure Henry at 3:15 and 4:30
WOW ! It´s an nice Version of Scott Joplin.
He played the D strain of Maple Leaf at 2:37.
He's blind and plays it in the key of Bb..... AWESOME!!!
Musical Hal Stevei Wonder plays an awful lot in Bb. I think it might be easier to play If you navigate the keyboard by touch and ear without a vision
2 flats , easy to write , good for horns !
He started shit-n it up at the 3:20 mark
😎👍
fabulous
Wow
This sounds like they should have Randy Newman in the back singing harmony.
What an improvement! Taking a very stiff piece of music and berating life and fun into it! Wow. thanks! beautifully done.
He played that with some church
@1ucasvb nicely put
Describe it.
"What the hell I can do anything I wanna do." It's music, man, lighten up.
leck mich am Arsch - a Wahnsinn!!
Dude is a freak on the piano....
Ho...ly.....shit!!!
Is he blind? Impossible!!!
That ragtime is to be played much faster.
wrong
Lame.
