Jon Batiste Performing Blackbird

Hello, and thanks for your visit today.
Another week gone by already.

I can't believe I hadn't seen this before so when I saw this video I didn't want You to miss it too.

Jon Batiste Performing Blackbird - 09 FEB 2016

I get a lot of views for the music videos. 

They seem timeless for us to hear over and over again. Some are for special occasions, to sing or dance with, others hold memories, emotions and more. 

This will definitely be one of them.

I can see those little ones that love playing the piano busy starting to see how they can interpret other songs using their inspiration and musical talents.

The song written by Paul McCartney back in 1968 catches our attention as well as the music.

It's an easy song to sing along with but the meaning behind it raises different feelings as it comes from a time back in the civil rights movement years ago. 

You can google it for more information. 

If You haven't heard this version before have listen so you can hear how Jon Batiste captures our attention with his amazing piano playing. 

We hear something very familiar but it's different, and I think he must of used all the keys/notes for this beautiful arrangement.

WOW WOW WOW
