Shame he didn’t learn to play the piano first !
No need; he’s got a ‘Ban the Bomb’ logo on his piano and is wearing a mask. That’s all you need to get re-tweeted.
Shameless self promotion.
What is there to promote?
His self. That is why it is called self promotion.
That was actually rather sweet and touching.
It may be shameless self-promotion, and he may or may not be a great pianist*, but the people listening (and taking turns at the piano) sure seem to appreciate what he’s doing.
*(the video barely includes any footage of him playing and what it does show is mostly without audio or just a few chords.)
He should get together with Gautier Capuchin and
give “free” concerts.
That would turn out more like “freak on, certs!” I see the hapless Gautier has further metamorphosen on his name; let’s hope he con take it on the chin.

“NO PIANIST WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS DISASTER”
…referring to Horowitz’s Carmen Fantasy 😛
