I can honestly say I've never heard of him...I wasn't sure what to make of the posted vid, so I checked a few more...
I keep reading that he plays primarily old timey Ragtime stuff, and I'm not a fan at all of the genre, although I do hear some things I can listen to from a few various artists...
I also read some praise and kudos for him, so I assume he has his fans...
That being said, to my ears, his playing sounds herky-jerky, erratic and about to run off the rails at any time...just not a pleasant sound to my senses at all...
YMMV, but a very little bit of this goes a long way for me...
