Come tango with me - I know a good piano player

When I used to play in bars, it was the same thing. Except people showed their appreciation by throwing things.
It may be an "intermediate" work, but watch the precision of the left hand, and his big mitts coming down with such power, trying to coax volume and tone out of that piano. Another thing he does, which intermediate piano players do not do, or even practice, is getting over the notes in the left hand, and then springing off the octave to the chord, where all he needs to look at is where the thumb goes. In true Russian technique, at times he even touches or caresses the notes of the left hand before playing them.
I don't know why I'm pointing this out, it's obvious to everyone I'm sure.AND ANOTHER THING <haha) -- because of that technique, he could literally play all night long, and never get tired or worn out, especially when patrons start buying rounds.
Thanks for the link. That was fun!
