[elittle80]

[pdoster]

I bought his three CDs and I could really use more. They are GREAT!!! I have them in my car at all times. Definitely worth looking into.

[malonecalebmatthew]

hey is there any chance you could tell me the chords to this song i would really apreciate it

[dannycraft24]

Dude... that was nothing short of AWESOME!!! If I may make a request, why not do an arrangement of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"? God bless.

[kyleboyet90]

Where do you get your music from? any particular artist? or do you make this up?? this song is beautiful!

[vgamewiz]

I am being fully honest when I say the following. You should enter in a talent contest such as America's Got Talent. God has blessed you with a gift that everyone can enjoy, and you need to share what He has blessed you with. This is the best piano song that I have ever heard. You need to fully consider it. God bless.

[Woofycat]

Please add more videos to your page. I love to hear you play. Thank God for your talent

[marketingtom]

That has to be the best piano playing I've ever heard. That is my favorite hymn. If you make an album, I'd like to buy a copy.

[pianoman861987]

i actually have 3 cds for sale. let me know if your interested. sorry for the late response, i dont check my account very often.

[jamesallensda]

@pianoman861987

Great arrangement! Where can I check out your CDs?

[Woofycat]

You really have a wonderful talent, God has blessed you so well. I would love to have a copy of the sheet music in your arrangement. Please send to me if possible. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Please post more videos soon. Good bless you so well.

[GMTM35]

Thank you for posting this. One can feel the spirit in the song as it is played. You have suh a wonderful talent. I believe also that Anthony Burger was the greatest ever. I have a personal story about Anthony and something he did for me, my wife and especially our son. He was a true genuine man of God that lived out his life to help others. Thanks again for posting this and other videos. With the piano being my favorite instrument, I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

[pianoman861987]

thank you for the nice comment. i saw anthony about 2 weeks before he died, and he took me on stage after the concert and showed me some of his techniques. you can't buy that. i miss him.

[organpipe8]

BEAUTIFUL - thank you.

[ednasilva]

OMG this is so beautiful.

[keudae]

my dad really loves your piano version of this song... we've watched you several times by now but i never commented =) thank you for sharing!

And I really like your style of playing... it's very beautiful. I hope you don't mind if I try to learn from your video and play your style/piano version for my dad... i think he'd like that a lot... ^^ I think this is his favorite song =)

[pianoman861987]

thanks for the nice comment. i don't mind you playing it, its in Eb. im glad your dad enjoys it! thanks again. matthew

[mitcheson1]

just discovered u, totally awesome. Ur style reminds so much of the late great Antony Burger. So glad u do a true piano solo, no tracks (yes!) I've been playing gospel music for 20 years and I always enjoy hearing another musicians.

[pianoman861987]

Thanks! Anthony was my hero and mentor. I wrote this arrangement, but got some ideas from him. He was and is still the best pianist ever as far as I'm concerned!

[pianoman861987]

I wrote this arrangement. But I got some ideas from Anthony Burger. Glad you liked it.

[arielle167]

The words and melody of this song are so powerful. You really don't need any of the other hoopla (well-known "Gospel" singers singing over pre-recorded background music, etc., which detract from the song). Beautiful job!

[pianoman861987]

I agree. in fact the Trio i play for wants to do this song with just piano. Glad you liked it. Thanks

[pianoman861987]

thank you

[voldosmurasama]

bravo, encore encore (that is how you spell encore right?)lol.

[pianoman861987]

oh hey aaron, i forgot you had a youtube account. lol
