Here's a really cool collaboration between pianist Scott Bradlee and his friend, tap dancer Alex MacDonald. Watch as Alex taps out the Super Mario World theme song while Scott accompanies him on the piano. Early on he taps out the rhythm of the melody, which is already impressive, but then they step it up a bit with some really cool solo sections.
Nice work, guys. Very original. Could I maybe request some different covers? How about Phantasy Star II's shop music? Or Sephiroth's theme? Maybe something from the Kirby games?
