“Why has this singing piano man been such a fixture in Minneapolis' West Bank bars for years? Because he injects imagination, personality and soul into even the most familiar tunes. He jazzes up "Love Potion #9" like a scat-crazy voodoo medicine man. He turns "Come on in My Kitchen" into a sly piano seduction. There's a rapturous intimacy on these extended renditions that you can't experience in a bar.” - Jon Bream and Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune
