Three things to learn from watching Bud:
1) how physically comfortable he is
2) he’s not looking at the keyboard
3) he’s “singing”

Ray Charles never looked at the keyboard, either. And neither did Stevey Wonder. 😂

How about Jose Feliciano? I had the pleasure of seeing Ray Charles in 1969 in Seattle and Jose Feliciano after that.

Amazing what he achieved.
