Chico Marx Piano Solo... Okay - It's Alex!

I REALLY need to post A LOT more often! I am so sorry! I hope I can make it up to you with the video below. This is my son playing what is referred to as a little "ditty" that was originally played by Chico Marx just prior to the piano falling apart (exploding?) in "A Day at the Races."

I don't mind saying that my son, Alex, is a very good pianist, self-taught, and he truly loves to play (can you tell?). Please feel free to watch more of his YouTube piano videos - he has quite a following. You'll notice that there is never any sheet music - he plays by ear and has done so since he first learned to play Pachelbel's Canon in D at age 11, which he heard on an episode of "The Wonder Years." Prior to this, he had never sat down at the piano.



Want to know about the antiquated piano, by the way? He found it at a thrift store. He sat down and played it, and the other customers were so impressed that not only did someone offer to buy it for him, but another customer had it delivered to his apartment! A very good shopping day!
