btw what KB is he playing?

Nice find, Donny. A few minutes googling gave the following information: He call himself Professor Edwardo Alvarado, is around 90 years old and plays on various subway stations in NYC. You can see a closeup of his keyboard in this video:

It looks like a Casio to me. In some of the other videos on YouTube he also plays a Yamaha. See more here:

and some great photos here:

I really like the contrast to the professional made poster hanging behind him.

Kind regards,
Tommy

You can also read a really interesting article about Professor Alvarado here:

Looks like he really is a professor! And Donny was probably right about the gig being good payed:

"The Professor won't talk about how much money he earns, but he appears to make more than most subway musicians."

Kind regards,
Tommy

Tommy now that you mention it I think I have seen him perform in my travels in the Subway stations as I grew up in New York City & worked there for years....you would be surprised of the unbelievable talent underground people like the famous "Naked Cowboy" who is out there no matter what the weather in his underwear playing for the crowds in Times Square!

and so many others. Many play at the 59th Street Columbus Ave Station due to that is the stop for LINCOLN CENTER for the Performing Arts & JULIARD School & a good place to be noticed by many Orchestra players from the Philharmonic, Opera, & Ballet..........many of these street players use battery powered Casio's KB's & portable Crate Taxi portable amps.

I've definitely seen him around. I love those little guys who play with him. Unlike us one-man-band people, he's got a whole orchestra with him...
