What an absolute musical genius. Watching his brain at 3:21 figure out the notes was incredible. Also her little giggle of joy every time he "gospelified" was adorable.

Another of the reasons that YouTube is so superior to ordinary television besides offering unlimited learning resources. is that in the comment section you have a like-minded community that you can listen to and chat with! YouTube- time well-spent! TV-not so much.

I think the newer iPhone speakers are made to replicate the piano more than any other sounds. It sounds so beautiful when you turn it up!

Anytime I hear Don’t Stop Believin’ I can’t help but to think of Daniel Thrasher’s version, I Stopped Believin’. “Just a small town grandma. Living in a retirement home. Wondering why my kids never visit me…” 😆
