Hearing & experiencing the talent of street musicians (long story/I got one now I'm going to post/Brian Star/stay tuned you just reminded me). When for a quarter/perhaps more, Street musician blows our mind? Oh! A movie coming out very soon 'The Soloist check it out I think you'd might enjoy it? I can't wait to see it the HUGE Robert Downey Jr fan than I am, I think the storyline speaks for itself (street musician/just the magic of being in the right time at that right moment).

I finally did it; pulled out an old compilation 'VHS of clips & performances that I had compiled from as far back as the early 80's. Many are lost, as the tape has digraded over the years:( Managed to save a few, by means of a digital camera. Thus; the sound & picture quality isn't the greatest:( At least anyone who missed such performances can now at least experience them:) Thanks for viewing and for sharing your thoughts:)

I saw him playing on the street in New York (72nd St. & Columbus Ave.) about a year before his first recording was released. I think he was a student at Juilliard at the time and he was playing real good for free (and some spare change) on a warm Spring evening. I stayed and listened for a long while.

Jordan was on the Tonight Show with Carson at least one other time. I used to have that appearance on tape, but God only knows where it is, or if it's even around any more. Much shorter song, if I remember right.

@ScaryDrifter Remove the record tab!!!!! Had a friend record two seperate events on one tape - her father's retirement party and her grandmother's 100th birthday party. Several months later my friends child recorded Barney or some such show over the tape. POOF. Gone forever. Tough lesson to learn.

Like you, I'm glad Sandman shared this. Loved Johnny Carson and enjoy Stanley's music a lot.

Thank you so much for sharing this gem. Amazing.

This guy rocks. He basically re-tuned his guitars so that the goofy B string change was no longer in effect, making him able to play the guitar more like a piano...with two hands. I wish he would have experimented a bit with strumming and standard playing though, as he could have gotten a lot more sounds. While fantastic, all of his stuff kind of sounds like fancy elevator music jazz. which limits his audience to musicians and classical jazz fans. Still, he's a genius at what he does do.

Stanley needs some more strings....it's all too easy.

I recorded this off the tonight show in VHS. It made me cry, it is so awesome . . . and my wife taped over it. Thank you for giving it back to me!
