The pictures only in this book kept you wanting to continue reading. It didn't take anything more than just having a piano in front of him to get him to play beautiful music. This eccentric musician did what he wanted and didn't care how others felt about it. He wanted to make a statement and knew exactly how, music was in his heart. Everywhere he went he heard music, even in the train he rode. There is nothing like a "WuahaAAAAAAA" to start this progressive artist's show of modern music. ( )
