The Kid's All Right
This kid might be a musical genius.
Not cuz of his playing -- he's clearly just banging the piano. But did you see the look he shot when the little girl started laughing? "Othalia's laughing, which I don't like." Cool as the other side of the pillow. When you've got that kind of self-esteem working for you, everything else -- technique, mechanics, pedagogy -- is a side issue.
And for the record, he announces that the piece is, "'Rocky Balboa', by my music teacher at school." Smokin Aces. ¶ 8:50 PM
