It’s not often that we hear of a musician so talented that he seems unstoppable. You have to be something special to earn a nickname such as The Boogeyman, wooing crowds of all ages with your talent. Such artists are rare and to be treasured; some, unfortunately, never become famous. If you haven’t heard of The Boogeyman, listen to him tickle the piano in this video.
Not only did Tommy teach himself at age four, but he had made his television debut at the age of seven. By the time he was nine years old, he had been featured in Life Magazine. All these years later, he can stop a crowd; he plays as though he breathes in music. Some people excel at their art form and forever baffle the rest of the world.
In the video, we keep hearing people telling him to play faster, and he does. It’s the result of a lifetime of practice and passion. This is the magic that happens when a child is allowed to do what he loves; legends are born, and the monsters have to go back into the closet because the music is too good.
