Joeys ability to roll all over the piano like no ones business is just unbelievable. He has a gift that is rare and hard to wrap my mind around. This talent is not common because he just rolls around with out any knowledge of music theory, and Joey just starts improving. Me doing jazz for years, I still have a hard time improving and soloing. On the other hand I believe you can measure talent to a certain extent. Some people have to work really hard while others can just pick up natural. Joey’s talent is just different because he picks up piano while listening to records, and playing by ear is special talent. Even though he’s a professional, I believe he is humble person not wanting credit. I have never met someone like that, but I do have a friend who is just good at trumpet. Music just comes easy for him, and I have to work extra hard to become good. But no one like Joey.
