The Wizard and I

[joshthedixon]

i love this song, and its great to sing along to you playing it! :)

[nrs2014]

WHOA! Could I borrow a cup of talent!?

[AnnieLovesNYC]

Great job, I loved it! Could you maybe do What Is This Feeling please? There are only 3 or 4 videos on them, and I like your playing better than theirs. Thanks!

[Maestrojosh87]

That's a great request. I think I may do it for you this MLK weekend. And you will also get a special surprise when you get it. Ask for one, get for one more free of charge!

[AnnieLovesNYC]

Thank you so much! Looking forward to it!

[musicaldramaqueen]

You, maestro, are a life saver. Thank you for this :D

[JojoDotty]

Amazing! That is an incredible gift for piano you have!! I thought it was lovely :)

[Singer4Jesus]

It's a bit fast in some parts, but I shouldn't be critiquing, because it's amazing. You're amazing. Thank you for doing this! Your videos are so much more fun to sing along to than the karaoke tracks. :)

[utubefanlova]

man i wish i could play wicked like that xD

[rsramirez]

Chord changes at 0:23 are brilliant!

[littlejess888]

thanks! this has been so helpful for me to practise this. :)

[twistandshout120]

This is amazing!! Great job!

[philmt789]

Did you arrange this yourself? Its totally different to the wicked piano music i bought. (Its much better!)

[Lglez307]

Some people play by ear, so perhaps he played like that to the CD.

Which by all means, is AMAZING talent ^^

[philmt789]

Yeh true, if played from a unpublished version of the music, or by ear, or by using the music but adding his own artistic flare this guy sure can play and i love listening to the videos!

[Ekidna2000]

I can't describe your talent... I love that song, and your timing is totally perfect :D

I'm practising this song, and I'm gonna use your song to use :D

[Dalthis555]

God i am DYING to see Wicked. =( i need to get my ass to NY lol i'm so scared the show is going to close before i get to see it. Damn recession. D=

[Maestrojosh87]

Where did you get that crazy notion? I don't think Wicked will close anytime soon, recession or no recession.

[Dalthis555]

Well A LOT of Broadway shows have been closing lately, and really good ones too. like RENT. =( Plus Wicked DID close in Chicago. I mean it has had its run for a few years now, so it will close eventually for sure. x_x i just hope i get a chance to see it first.

[Maestrojosh87]

However, no further closing notices have been posted, so I guess we're in good hands. Just because WICKED closed in Chicago doesn't mean it will close on Broadway next. Chances are, you most certainly will get to see it.

[Lglez307]

I personally dont think it'll close down. It gets much more attention in Broadway than any other place. Look at the Phantom of the Opera. After several decades, it's still up and running. ^^

[BroadwayGirl939]

wicked closed in chicago and moved to florida, i think.

i live in LA, and it closed here... only to move to san francisco! Wicked probably won't close for at least a couple more years... i hope.

[disneydanny2]

@Dalthis555 one of the reasons it closed in Chichago was so a 2nd Tour could be oin the road

[fro0zenangel]

Your Amazing! x

[Avyiaon]

you should so do im not that girl :D

[CreatePerform]

I can't believe I haven't come across your channel before. This is so great :) I have been trying to put some piano backing tracks up for students (I'm a singing teacher) but you are so so so so much better than me. Do you do requests? I probably have about 100.... ;) Great job thanks! I am off to look at your other stuff xx

[Saymyname280]

I've been waiting a while for you to post this. Great job. PS On a side note, I've been singing along to your "Dancing Through Life" on my iPod for quite some time now.

[onpointe91]

How do you put it on an iPod?

[drawken]

I either used "vixy" (google for ".flv video convert")or I recorded it with a freeware audio recorder called "Audacity".

[onpointe91]

Thank you SO much!

[batgirlnicole]

YAY!! LOVE IT!
