Guy puts a Jerry Lee Lewis hurting on a piano in an airport terminal.
It is very much in the style of Johan Blohm. Below is a clip of Blohm's boogie. - Tom

It is in fact “Roll over Beethoven”

I can’t find the same LiveLeak video on GoogTube so I hope someone can post it.
No kidding...never saw that many deaf people in an airport at one time before..
There did seem to be a number of people who stopped to listen, take pictures and such. To be fair some of them might not have realized that he wasn’t a paid entertainer, just a fellow traveler. There were a good many who walked by but they might have had flights to catch, didn’t have the time to stop and listen. On my last trip, after a 12 hour flight and needing to make a connecting flight on the other side of the terminal, which I almost missed thanks to TSA, I would not have stopped even if the guy was playing with his feet, had a monkey on his head and the piano was literally on fire, although I would have been tempted and probably would have managed a jetlagged smile of some sort.
Awesome...just plain awesome. I’m tired of guitar pyrotechnics...I love seeing a piano virtuoso..
A very fitting .gif!
This guy is fantastic....I love piano wizardry, no matter what the musical genre...I even used to really dig seeing those old Marx Brothers movies when Chico would tickle the ivories...just love it!
He must have had lessons.
I don’t think so.
What a tough crowd, could barely get a smile out of most of those folks on camera, loved the applause at the end though.
Wow. That piano was smokin’! Amazing!
Wonder which airport this was....where most passed right by, not even paying attention to this.
Roll over Beethoven.
I don’t think so.

“Play me, I’m yours!” — Love it!
Yes, very sick of guitar.
No one even knows how to play a true bass! Another guitar fake!
Nope. Good, but not the same.
Whatever.
His is playing “Roll over Beethoven” for those that are interested.
