Folks...... are you deaf!

This performance is completely AWFUL!

From the thick clouds of wrong notes, to the awkwardly mismatched volume between hands, through the bland and gray expression, and on down to the truly STUPID improvisatory quote from the opening of the "Toccata & Fugue in D Minor", and collapsing finally into the brown-nosing "Hail To The Chief" quote at the end, this forgettable and very regrettable show does not deserve praise except for its high comedic content.

I wonder if Awadagin and Barack lit one up and smoked it after the show.
