Does anyone know the name of the first piece he plays? I cannot remember.

This makes me sad but reminds me how short a life can be. I was born when this guy was becoming a househoild name - the most amazing American piano player of the 2nd half of the last century. I saw a comment on another video - no one has been able to imitate him -how true - I don't mean the persona, but rather his playing - you just don't see the same thing - sure there are the so-called cocktail pianists that flutter up and down the keyboard - and sound quite pleasant, but he was the best.

@Gary2837 Thanks Gary. I guess I found him eccentric more than anything else and as a musician myself I can respect that actually...
Thank you for the understanding, pretty rare on Youtube.
Peace!!!!

@Thejbirdy Don't beat yourself up. We are all at different points in our lives. The main thing is realizing where we are and began improving immediately. When we ourselves change and show and act the change we unknowingly (or know) influence others.
He was a genius and I find myself copying my runs and arpeggios after his (though on the clumsy side, laugh). Have a grea life and be all the good you can be!!!

@Gary2837 And it doesn't even matter what his sexual preference was, that was just a dumb thing for me to say.
He's a genius.
