GRollins Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Look...I know that I'm not so hot at keyboards, ya know, but to be shown up by some little squirt one-eighth my size is really humiliating. I think it's adorable the way he keeps having to scoot back and forth on the bench to get to one end of the keyboard or the other. My hat's off to the guy. Once his hands grow to match his ambition, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with...oh, and some reach on those arms, too! The date on that video was 2016, so he's 11 now and probably got enough size to do a credible version of Wakeman. I wonder if Rick Wakeman's seen this?

Dave Weiser Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Holy sh*t this is so cool! I love that it's not just the another all out chops-fest, though those are fun. This one is more like a love letter to the piano. From a kid who has to butt-scootch to get from the high keys to the low ones.

GRollins Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yeah, but if he was that good at six years, just think what he'll be like at, say, eighteen if he keeps at it... It tickled me that he kept looking over at his support team while he was playing. Don't worry, you're doing just fine. Don't sweat the mistakes, li'l buddy--you're doing better than I can and my hands are twice the size of yours. I'm proud of him. (...and just a little envious...)

SamuelBLupowitz Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Aw man, that's awesome. Interesting timing, Facebook just brought up this memory from two years ago in my feed... I'm definitely less impressive as Rick Wakeman as this kid was as Anderson/Howe. Clonkabout. Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.
