Tom is a highly regarded pianist and sight-reader in the ragtime community. He's never played video games before and has never heard these songs.
His friend feeds him scores to popular video games and he sight reads and plays them "blind", and also improvises on the fly to awesome effect. On some of them he takes a little while to get a feel for the song, but once he gets going it's usually amazing. Well worth checking out.

Worth checking out for his epic neck beard alone.
