I only came across your videos today.I can tell you it took me back quite a few years too my younger days. I've never seen it plyed or heard it played in such style,its a pleasure to sit here and watch a great musician. Thanks a bundle.
Mi querido amigo, permitame felicitarle, toca ud. bellisimo, este ud. seguro que lo seguire en todos lo videos que coloque. Gracias, por compartir su talento con el mundo.
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing -- of which commodity you have bucket loads, by the way Tommy. You inspire me to plan an upgrade to a credible 88 note keyboard and get practising!
Tommy...you truly an inspiration. I am an ear player and started taking lessons at age 81...from an ear player. I have always loved music and now I am doing what I had always wanted to do...I had a Yamaha digital keyboard...but, now I play on a Roland Atelier AT900C...a fantastic instrument...I take lessons on the AT900, but, at home I have an old Technics SX F5...In my teens, Boogie was the "thing"...and, still is to me! You are fantastic and I can tell you really love the keyboard and music..
Tommy you are a proper character and you are an inspiration to alot of people and you obviously have so much fun in what you do so I say fair play to you and much much respect, true top man and true top pianist/keyboardist....all the best from me and mine in Gobowen UK....
Back on page 7 in the comments section, idahodad1 says that, "you get good comments because you deserve good comments", and he is right. Thanks for all the wonderful postings! YouTube proves you don't have to be a MegaStar to be a Megaperson like you.
some envious fool made a dumb comment about your "posture".
I think your posture and movements reflect a passion and uniqueness. I've seen some great pianists whose style reminded me of rigormortis slightly animated.
I have a player piano and I have a piano roll that Liberace did. The first 40 bars or so are very similar to his, after that I like your rendition much more! Thanks Tommy :)
god has truly blessed you, hope you make a trillion dollars, you are truly a nice guy, humble, and one helluva piano artist.
I have told all my friends and family about you, Thank you for youtubing for us. I am a 63 year old man, accordian player, and am ready to invest into a digital piano, just got to figure out what to do with my left hand LOL!!!!Thank you Thank you-Thank you.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE SOOO AWESOME!!i also play piano and three other instruments...and im pretty good i think.. but i think you look uncomfortable try working on your posture thanks 4 da vids! :)
Thank YOU for all you've played for us! These are the most enjoyable videos I saw around! There are great players on Wersi, Tyros and so on. But you add so much fun and amazing piano technique. I'm blasted, I wish I had half the talent of one of your hands ;-)
I love you! you have fun! your dynamics are awsome! you have to eat superfoods and live forever so you can play for us a very long time!! You look like my ten years piano teacher Erwin Seger hehe and wow your hair is getting so long and beaitiful too. Noone could play *Rapsody* better, thanks! made my day!!
I have a small Yamaha keyborad that i play songs on by ear..im far from a pro. I wish i would play like you but im a cheater..i play the auto chording thing..i could never multifinger chord..and its mostly one finger with the melody too. So the keyboard makes it sound like im better then i really am. lol lol You sure have a gift from God. Thanks for posting some of your music..so everyone can enjoy it.

Hello Tommy. I´ve noticed you always playing on these "new stuff"
It would be amazing to see what you could do with an old household piano.
Maybe to inspire us inactive players...
