Blindfolded Pianist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neAiLZcy8Qk&mode=related&search=)
This is worth every minute. This guy plays most of the SMW songs on a piano. He's crazy insane. World 1 is done blindfolded and you guys have to see the blur of hand movement at around minutes 7, 9:30, and 10.

Very impressive, but it really sounds like that piano needs to be tuned....lots of dissonance. I'm sure a crappy camcorder microphone doesn't help either.
But that aside, pretty impressive, even if the dude is a total spaz. It seemed some of the slower parts were played a bit to quickly, putting little emotion into the sound. But, on the fast stuff, where that doesn't matter as much, it was pretty exceptional. Spazzes don't do emotion though, lol.

cool!
One thing to note, when I called in Customer Serivce, the on hold music was an orchestra style SMB tune.
It has to be the compression of you tube as well to screw the pitch of the piano.

That's Martin Leung (http://videogamepianist.com/) in that video. I met him and saw him perform with and without the blindfold at SITACon (http://www.sitacon.com/) last November. If you get a chance to see him, definitely do since he is not only a great guy but puts on a great show too.

Playing piano blindfolded isn't that amazing.
Ray Charles has done it a few times, himself.

I had the liberty of watching Martin play at the Brady Games booth a few E3s ago... simply put... he puts on quite the show!
He is currently touring with Video Games Live!

It's not about the blindfolded part, it's about everything else.
