I feel so inadequate after seeing this guy.

It is awesome that he has a love for something and has mastered it rather than creating an internet post to rip someone else apart on something that he has no clue on how to perform. 

Artie Shaw was for years a nationally ranked match shooter.  Some might find that off-center.  Christopher Parkening, the great classical guitarist, was a ranked fly fisherman for many years and held masters classes in the sport in Montana.  It goes on and on.  It's okay.

Ironically,  shortly after I saw this, i was gifted a CD called Ultra Lounge, which has a track called "lonesome road" by Dean Elliott.  A truly spectacular achievement,  no matter how quirky it may be.  My wife gets on me for playing it so much.  Happy holidays to all.

@ricmci I don't understand your comment. To what are you referring?

Joe is great!  He shows that there is NOTHING like listening to actual instruments.  His plus is that he is actually creating it (being accompanied by the piano roll), but the final sound is Joe's his bandmate is the roll!

Audio is a great hobby as everyone chooses his preference in what to listen to but a North Star is valuable so that you can know and choose in which direction to go.

Would you rather spend $100,000.00 on audio or on a current Steinway player piano that has the ability to play the masters for you anytime on an actual instrument?

The challenge here would be to create a system that captures the sound. Dynamics, and immediacy of Joe's performance.
