[Henry1993bc]

are there any rehabilitation clinincs to cure being addicted to this video and brier in general?

[tdub1941]

@Henry1993bc

I'm sorry Henry. Once you've become addicted to Tom Brier's piano performances there is no cure and you'll be stuck with the condition from now on. All I can do to offer you any hope is to just succumb to the addiction and buy up all of the CD's you can find of him playing many different tunes. Also watch all the videos on a regular basis.

Good luck!

[Keeper1st]

@Henry1993bc Yeah, he had (yet again) cut his finger and bled on a piano, bandaged the finger and declared that he wasn't going to participate in the post-festival jam session.... but sure enough he got up and was playing all night like this!

[Henry1993bc]

I have to apologize... all the wrong notes and extra things you hear going on are me trying to duet on the other piano at the same time (off-camera). I thought I had this tune memorized, but it turned out I thought wrong! My sincere apologies for nearly ruining this masterpiece. I hope there's another video of Tom playing this solo on Youtube, or if not, that one will be added before too long, since this is one of the best things he's ever written. (the sheet music is available in his folio #1)

[tdub1941]

Andrew,

Maybe you heard yourself make a mistake somewhere during the piece, but frankly everything I hear here is perfect. I think the camera was so close to the piano Tom was playing that it didn't hear what the other one was doing. Tom is FANTASTIC! This is an amazing tune and he nails it!

Thanks for your comments and Merry Christmas!
