I am glad somebody mentioned him on this site.  He was so great I loved all his movies.  He was also a great pianist.

No offense to anyone but we pianists tend to take ourselves too seriously at times.  We need things like this to remind us to lighten up.  Dudley was a killer player.  I believe he went through college on a music scholarship.

I love the long over-the-top coda he does over the last two minutes.  The look he gives the audience at 3:40 is hilarious.

RIP Dudley.
