    That sign on the piano, I wonder if it says “DON’T PLAY UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW” lol

    • @donbrynelsen2157

      Or "Please don't shoot the piano player!"

      I love seeing that sign with a second line added below - "no, Flohwalzer doesn't count".

    My favorite part of this is all the smiles on the faces of the people behind him. How wonderful it must be to bring such joy into people's lives.

    After years of playing piano you realize that you're not in any way close to him.
    This is wonderfull

      As a tram driver I've been through something like an insight during my training. I guess music has something similar - when all your studying and practice accumulate and help you literally shift how your brain works on one special day. It's like learning riding a bike. Once you get there you'll feel like you always had that skill.

    0:46 A person whistling at the part where the lyrics say "When you hear the whistle blowing 8 to the bar", that's ingenious.

    In the final second, someone yells "PLAY THE MAPLE LEAF RAG!", as if they'd missed this amazing performance.

    With all of today's distractions, It is rare to see a man manage to craft himself into this kind of pianist. The last one I know of was James Booker. This will become more and more rare. I have followed Adam's development ever since he released (what I believe was his first album) named after the famous "Echoes from the Snowball Club" and I deeply admire his work. Best wishes from northern Sweden // Mattias H. Sandin (I wrote the main theme to Bowler Hat Rag, a piece me and M. Keenlyside wrote forever ago)

    Ok, we have to discuss this: where is he sitting on??

    • @aussiebloke609
      @aussiebloke609 3 года назад +1

      Look again, it's a standard piano stool - he's just spun it up high. That's the adjustment screw you're looking at - the red thing above is the seat cushion.
