Yep, he's still going, although sadly not in the shape he was prior to his run-in with Covid last year. What's been particularly nice is that it's highlighted so many songs that I had forgotten about, or that Id never heard. It got me going back to the originals, as well as filling a double cd of the best 2020 mini concert performances.


Accused of being "a nerd in his 20s." I wish.

Yes, I thought that, too. It's been rather sad over the last year seeing him really start to struggle, especially considering that I found enough performances from the 2020 videos to make a double CD of them. I think Covid really made an impact on his health when he had it, which is such a shame. But he still seems to get out and about quite a bit, although he clearly struggles with arthritis, which he has been quite open about, and how he plays the piano considering the shape of his fingers now, I have no idea.
