I feel so inadequate after seeing this guy.

Joe is great!  He shows that there is NOTHING like listening to actual instruments.  His plus is that he is actually creating it (being accompanied by the piano roll), but the final sound is Joe's his bandmate is the roll!

Audio is a great hobby as everyone chooses his preference in what to listen to but a North Star is valuable so that you can know and choose in which direction to go.

Would you rather spend $100,000.00 on audio or on a current Steinway player piano that has the ability to play the masters for you anytime on an actual instrument?

The challenge here would be to create a system that captures the sound. Dynamics, and immediacy of Joe's performance.

@ricmci I don't understand your comment. To what are you referring?

Ironically,  shortly after I saw this, i was gifted a CD called Ultra Lounge, which has a track called "lonesome road" by Dean Elliott.  A truly spectacular achievement,  no matter how quirky it may be.  My wife gets on me for playing it so much.  Happy holidays to all.

Artie Shaw was for years a nationally ranked match shooter.  Some might find that off-center.  Christopher Parkening, the great classical guitarist, was a ranked fly fisherman for many years and held masters classes in the sport in Montana.  It goes on and on.  It's okay.

It is awesome that he has a love for something and has mastered it rather than creating an internet post to rip someone else apart on something that he has no clue on how to perform. 

California is still a very great state....

Huell Howser's  PBS "California's Gold" show was a great way to get ideas for a "what to see/do" in the used to be great state of California.

I've seen that segment when it originally aired. 

Cool.

Guy has a hobby.

Cool

I believe I heard him make a mistake.

Click on the one titled "hit it joe", introduced  by Huell Howser.

Didn't they use that at Gitmo?

I feel like ice skating now.

I believe that there is a pill you can take for that.

Just beware of becoming a permanent customer of drug pushing big pharma.

Or jail or dead or 8 years and 4.5 rehab stints weaning off.
