blind folded or not--the fact that he knows all those tunes that well and can play them is amazing in my books!! few too many hours playing mario games me thinks :P
-
There's also a video of a man who can play the music from SMB (including the sound effects) on his guitar.
Here's the link:

The piano guy is crazy good. The last two minutes are fantastic. It's too bad one cannot get an .mp3 of the piano performance.
-
Does anyone know where to get an .mp3 of that performance? That was great!

Only if he's playing solely by ear. There are plenty of arrangements of the SMB music that he could have read/memorized off of. He's only blindfolded the first two minutes, too. Professional pianists hardly ever look at the keys while they're playing.
It's still a good performance, but not ungodly. I give it 2.5 "meh"s.

I'll give you two good examples: Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles.

Indeed. Now, how can I convert that MPEG into a mp3?

Although impressed by this obvious talent... I'm a little bit more impressed by "balloon swallow" also located in the video section.

Yeah, I saw that too, and I'm a bit confused.... What happened next? She poop it out? Cough it back up? What?

Do you honestly think she swallowed that balloon? It appeared to me to that it may have deflated in her mouth.
-
It's just like sword swallowing. I'm sure she did it. The gross thing will be bringing it back up.
-
Ah... Its music to my ears

My friend can listen to a song and start playing it by ear, not sure if he could do it blindfolded though.

QUESTION FOR YA'LL:
I got an e-mail from the Blindfoldedpianist (featured in the video) and he wants to put together a real simple web-page but lacks the technical expertese. Is there anyone out there who would help this guy out. I would but I am simply awful at web-page creation, awful.
PM me with your e-mail if you want to help him and I will send your e-mail or I can just give you his or whatever.
Thanks,
NoBonus
