I wonder who that is too. What movie is that from? If we can find that out , might be able to find out who the kid is.

I wouldn't be surprised if was/is some New Orleans cat or some future blues/jazz cat. Even someone like Billy Preston?

Any way, he's sure got it at a young age.

Yeah, I was impressed
He didn't even have to look down at his hands while playing.
He was just pounding out those boogie woogie piano notes.

Yeah, I noticed that too. On the black keys sometimes he just hits them with the side of his fist.

Look how far he has to stretch out his arms to the L/R cause he's so small.

"No Leave, No Love" 1946 with Van Johnson and Keenon Wynn.  The boy's name is Frank 'Sugar Chile' Robinson and he is still alive.  He was 7 in that movie.  Here is his bio:  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0732630/bio (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0732630/bio)

Won a talent show at the age of 3!!!!!  Dockers used one of his songs in 2006 in commercials called "Go boy go!".  I need to find that because I do not remember it.

Yes, then when you get older, staying after school with a teacher that looks like this is what you pray for
