The Video Game Pianist
Neil Halelamien writes "Many enjoy listening to video game music arrangements, like those offered by OCRemix, Project Majestic Mix, or the Minibosses NES-rock band. A newcomer on the scene is the Video Game Pianist, an accomplished performer studying at the Cleveland Institute of Music. His skills garnered the attention of some in the industry -- he performed at the 2005 Game Developers Conference and will also be playing live at E3 this year. His web site offers some amazing performance videos (many with him playing blindfolded), downloadable albums, live internet concerts, sheet music, and other goodies, all for free. His albums and videos include several selections from the Mario, Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Final Fantasy series. Fans of his work can also donate to support his music."

Not everyone could link to videos of themselves on muchosucko or ebaumsworld with such dignity.

I don't think this is a true story.
I've been playing piano for about five years now, and you're absolutely right.
Now, if he could learn a song blindfolded, by ear, with bamboo shoots under his toe nails, then yes, it would be an accomplishment.
This sig rocks the casbah.
He played backwards too, although I bet that isn't very hard. !ees ,sdrawkcab epyt hcuot nac I
Maybe he's a Mormon?
You're right...now if he actually played Super Mario Brothers and beat the game (or even a level) while blindfolded, THAT would be impressive. :)
