Mack The Knife (drunk/insane/depressed)

[Takelot64]

Great!!

[songbird427]

That is the coolest piano playing I've ever heard. Great arrangement, too!

[oldepersonne]

why arent you famous-fabulous

[Angelicusdiodorix]

at 4:20 (coincidence?) it suddenly made me jump of my chair and do a charleston :)

you made me happy, and that's what a good musician/entertainer does

you are an insane pianoplayer. I'd hate to be the muscles in your fingers...

[9Robin1]

i hate to say it but you' re my role model... it might be self destructive but i want your lifestyle...

[Kydyksvydkgygn]

I don't know if anybody has tried,but this is great hangover music.

[lolipop4us]

i think i'm in love with you

[druNkwriter]

@lolipop4us bah! I'm like the mets: a carnival of insane disappointment that only happens to accidentally be mildly entertaining. far too kind. Why doesn't youtube send me emails when people post things anymore?!?! More whiskey...

[1braveboy]

your the greatest piano player on you tube, my famuily and i loved it,

keep it up bud,

kirby family from england

[alfonsoruizal]

Hijo te tu pinche madre..,eres mi idolo cabron, no se si seas muy buen musico porque yo se menos pero eres autentico..,y eso es lo importante...,me la pase muy bien escuchandote y viendote, SALUD!!!

You Bastard..!!, you are authentic, and itis the important..,SALUD..!! mfkr and don't fuckin' change ever.... from a mexican fan

[jordanloder]

that which you can do wasted, most can't do sober:) hahaah! cheers~

[Skeelful]

you truly define the blues, if only you was around in the 60's or whenever the blues was formed. you'd be a legend by now xD this is truly what music is about. to express your self.

[jazztrumpet87]

@Skeelful you mean the blues were formed in the 1860's lol?

[loadsofmagic]

wonderfully funny and a good one year before Sarah Marshall.

[motownman9191]

Sir, you are a drunk.

But your are the finest piano playing drunk I've ever seen in the history of the world.

My hats off to you. If you play this great/super awesome when your drunk I can bet than you can make a crowd explode with enjoyment when sober. Maybe I should start drinking and possibly become half as good as you.

Two thumbs up.

[Skeelful]

@motownman9191

no. a drunk is someone who pours wisky

in his morning cheerios. he is an artist

someone who creates music to replace

dispair. do not get confused.

[DCTheGuitarist]

@Skeelful

[druNkwriter]

YES! FUCK! FUCKING SHIT I SAID A FUCKING... er... wait... your parents should pay closer attention to what you watch on the internet! BOOOO: Bad parents... AND BAD SPELLING! But stay in school, don't smoke, practice... BLAH! FUCKING SHIT THERE ARE KIDS ON HERE ALL OVER AGAIN! FUCK!

I hope you';re not a kid, but, if you are: practice what you love. Never take no for an answer. And know that life is much harder than you think it is. Good luck.

[Coppillie]

Brilliant playing. A mixture of slide, Louis Armstrong and alcohol impacted fingers.

And one of my favourite songs ever.

You put my own unshaven, bummed note, hunched back performances to shame!....

[n1cK0n1cK0]

amazing prestation, santé !

[willcoaster]

[snedersable]

But seriously,listening to this got me out of some rough times this month ...Thank you for your wonderful music.

[druNkwriter]

{bows}... thanks so much; it's what I'm here for.

Hang in there; I think it might be worth it...

Cheers!

[snedersable]

Let's go to Australia!

[spheere1]

Wonderful voice, with character, from "The Cabaret Man" par excellence! Quit your morning job and stick to the music - Big Greek Hugs from George

[X0oo]

[hasbren90]

[TheCasino92]

You are just THE ONE AND ONLY entertainer man! i love it =) keep on playing cause if you don't, everyone will miss it. just awesome!

[IndependentGeorge76]

[lwdpyro]

[TRU1411]

[druNkwriter]

Black Velvet Canadian Whiskey

[Nowekian]

lol! you rock, sir!

[lyricarol]

Too cool. I love you.

[nicoitalian]

haha, the first 35 sec u reminds me of Jack Nicholson in One flew over the Cuckoo's nest hehe, but damn u can play, I'm jealous hehe!

[yamool]

Great I like your performance without the piano..but you performance with the piano is awesome"

It must be great if you are able to improvise a song that way. Ho can you lern that?

I fear I haven´t got the talen to do it that way-one day... but at least I can listen to your songs (thats a kind of comfort for me)

[druNkwriter]

Anyone can learn to do it my friend, and I mean it; it's just practice, and I'm not even that good. Practice. Patience. Two things which I am losing with each passing year, but two things which landed me where I am today. Take heart, and, as corny as it may sound, believe in yourself.

Cheers and good luck!

[effentjes]

well done

[Microrator]

You are a fabulous pianist, and quite a character, easily one of the most underrated and under viewed artists on this website.

[druNkwriter]

you, my friend, are FAR too kind. I'm just a guy... maybe one who would like to make a living from this someday, but (much more than that) who wants to do his part to keep the music out there. Thank you so much for your kind words... they mean a lot to me, especially when things get tough. Cheers, mofo!

[fingerscarr]

sorry mate , mischanelled ability . get rid of the fluff and get some coherence into the tune . and cut out the croaking !

[phantomoftheopera07]

yes, you twat, because we've all seen your videos of your looks and WONDERFUL talent!

[phantomoftheopera07]

yes you are!

[fingerscarr]

ha ha !

[dinodinelli]

very very very good. excelent

[jackjiezhang]

jazz standards have gotten lost over the years, its sooo nice to see someone out there bringing it back. cuz im a huge fan of it!!! Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Rogers n Hart, Irving Berlin; they are all my favourites! now you are on the list too my friend!!!

[Snoobeule]

Its so awesome...

[MartianTom]

"Depravity and despair are the keys to the creative life. And come up with some sort of useful addiction." Bukowski would've agreed. Balzac, too. I agree. Wish your bar was a bit closer and I'd get down and join you. I don't think you'll be in the day job for too long, somehow. Slante!

[druNkwriter]

Cheers mofo; been there for over a year and there's no sign of them firing me. Yet.

[MartianTom]

I don't think it'll come to that. I think your talent will get you out of it.

[MartianTom]

"Just a little practice, a little time..." Yeah yeah yeah. I've been playing for years, and can't even approach your speed or level of improvisation. Nowhere even close. That takes talent - something years of piano lessons and sitting at home nights messing with the keys will never give you. Great stuff, man.

[roboman70]

is there anyone else out there tapping the PC table as thought they are playing this themselves??

[Saralarah13]

Awesome. This song suits your persona well. I don't know that that's a compliment. But I'm a fan, so, take it as you will.

[nicoitalian]

Hey man, you rock!:) Have you ever done Jelly R. Morton's The Crave...,If not... could you?!?

Hope I'll get to Vegas a friday night at Freakin' Frog just to see you play!!!!

[roboman70]

I wish my left hand was like yours!!! how do move it around like that is it chord patterns??

[juscuz247]

thats so sweet...! i wish i could play like u!!

[druNkwriter]

What is this "wish" shit, mofo?! Go do it! Just a little practice, a little time, a little perseverence, and a little spell check for "perseverence..." that's all it takes. I'm no great player or anything... Shoot me a message on myspace if you need help getting started.

Oh, and thanks for making my night. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Cheers!

[roboman70]

i need some piano help...puh-leese??

[druNkwriter]

PIANAH HELP? What's up? You on myspace? Shoot druNkwriter a message (that's me)... I keep up with that stuff (kind of) a lot better than YouTube. Lemme know.

[m0u53m4t]

Dude, you're a legend :)

Nobody ever makes good responses like this.

Kudos man, kudos :)

[tippit999]

The piano is crying and shimmering in your hands ... un artiste veritable !!!

[druNkwriter]

I'd like to say, for the record, that's the second nicest thing anyone has ever said about my playing, and I absolutely owe you one for completely making my night by saying it. You rock, and I'm so glad you enjoyed my drunk playing.

Sante!

[ssmark123]

Liked it! Something of a different style for you it seems to me.

[druNkwriter]

Ach... just my chops drifting slowly away.

Cheers man! Hope you are doing well!

:-)
