^-- That's the part that amazed me most about him. I guess people would write in and ask him for suggestions. He'll reply in his videos with encouragement and probably the most obvious yet overlooked advice: "find something you have fun doing and do it!"
I really wish there were more people in the world like him. And no doubt, even if he were a millionaire, I'd imagine he'd never change. Ever.
The thing I always enjoy about his videos is that--more often than not--he'd pop on at the very end and say "That one was a lot of fun to play." No doubt, watching him play it, you can
tell he's actually having fun. Sure, he makes money from his CDs, but he's one of the few performers these days who is actually
enjoying what he's doing--and it shows.
This guy should be the permanent "American Idol." He's not propped up by a record company, he's got RAW talent, and he's actually a nice guy.
Three things the recording industry doesn't like. Sad...
He's got a few other videos where he's playing pranks on his roommates and such. It's hilarious!
