Daniel Johnston - Piano Suite

[superexcellent12]

This just solidified in my mind the fact that Daniel Johnston is absolutely brilliant

[mellowtonen]

[silverstairway]

Oh my...that was beautiful.

I wish he would tour playing piano

I love how utterly crap he is at guitar, so everyone goes 'oh, he's a terrible musician', when he's actually an incredible pianist. Thanks so much

@at0miklust

Daniel doesn't seem to realise how much better he is on the piano than on the guitar, because he's always switched back and forth between the two instruments. Personally, I think that's a real shame, because while his clumsy guitar playing has occasionally been detrimental to his music, his piano playing often has the opposite effect, turning good songs into great songs.

i absolutely love listening to this man play.

i was present while he was playing this. like a cross between thelonius monk and paul mccartney. Very fun.

[chrish12345]

[chrish12345]
