[LaDominicana0521]

I saw him perform recently. My school lavilla was playing with piano students from his school douglas anderson school of the arts. we were practicing, and i realized that he was legally blind. I can't even dream of me playing like that. it was beautiful and i hope to play like that some day. God bless

[Soybone1]

amazing, defies logic it is so good. and he's only what 14? 15? he's amazing

[mummyjohn]

I can without doubt say that this performance is one of the most LEGENDARY things I have ever seen. Seriously, just transcending the normal considerations of existence, that's what's going on here. This kid could probably get laid on an hourly basis. Nothing to say, but ROCK ON!

[Jeremybluesman]

this kid is absolutely phenomenal...many young people can play but he truly "gets" the music and where it comes from....i honestly see him becoming the next Derek Trucks

[jj72775]

[squidobarnez]

*goosebumps*

[Twiztedshot]

nice, good musician that kid is.

for a second at the end (i know it was cruel) i thought he was bowing to the wall. gratz to him tho

[Mattbud36]

Best Piano Free Bird Recital I have ever seen thus far. This is amazing! I love the song, too!

[Dukabor]

how cool must it be...to be the teacher of a kid that talented...I mean...c'mon...that's gotta be the best friggin job in the world...

[benknowsbest1]

what? itd be terrible, youd have to work too hard to make sure the kid doesnt show you up

[Dukabor]

heh...alway's good when you blow your teacher away....his teacher can barely keep up!....gives me hope for our future!

[IvyPianoMan]

Billy Powell, he would love to see somebody doing this while he was around, bet you anything. Brilliant performance, made my day

[Dukabor]

Allen Collins would love it too...

[jokafuel]

i think that made my hole entire week!!!!!

hes amazing!!!!

im suprised hes not ffamoous!!!!!

i wish i could play like that and now i feel jealousy lol!

[leoking57]

He is kinda. I just looked through most of his videos and it says he's been able to play with a couple of really famous artists. Check out his video called The Blues Legend and the Blind Kid

[X33401]

[franhas3]

WOW, WOW, WOW. I am MOVED. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
