I love watching Jon Batiste play the piano.
That smile, it's infectious.
And the way his fingers fly, ever so lightly, over those ivories. Wow!
I smile every time. I miss him on Colbert.

Jon is one of the most inspiring and creative musicians I've heard in my 75 years. We have all been blessed to hear him and others in this time in history where the diversity of music has been so amazing. Viva diversity!
