That's our nephew Matthew Whitaker. An amazing prolific keyboard artist.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

You are very lucky to have him! You must be very proud of him. And we are very lucky too, to be able to see his performance here with Jon Batiste.

I love CBS Sunday Morning's story about him.

[@neocollective]

OMG, that's so cool, he's amazing, magical and inspiring 😘

[@unclepepper3702]

Bless his soul and amazing fingering

[@nancymcconnell7973]

I'm sure you're very proud as you should be. He's making friends in the right places, that's for sure. As for talent, he's got it. I was a professional pianist at one time and in a jazz band. He makes me sound like a 2 year old beating pans with a spoon.

This song 🎵 🎶 shakes me up on the inside. It brought me to 😢 tears and I began to cry out to God for our repentance as a nation. If we do what is so vividly stated in 2nd. Chronicles7:14, God said He would heal our nation. On this National Day of Prayer, I want to challenge every born ag

[@vivianmott8085]

Continuation of prior post: On this National Day of Prayer, I want to challenge every born again believer of Jesus Christ to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and cry out to God to transform stony hearts to pure 💕 💙 💞 hearts. For without the Love of Christ in our hearts, change will not come to our land.

[@JohnCurtisPiano]

Very nice Jocelyn! This was awesome, thank you for sharing! I play this too, but not as good as this I don't think. I subscribed & liked for support! Won't you as well? Many thanks! 🎹

[@maksenDK]

Batiste*

[@jmakala]

Thanks for noticing. Corrected.

[@lorenzojoneson]

if you like this guy so much maybe you should spell his name right.

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Never mind the spelling, Mr Grammar police. We all know who Jon Batiste is. Let's not miss the point of this amazing performance.

[@lorenzojoneson]

@@PaulSmith-pf2uq spelling and grammar are not the same thing Mr everyone knows

[@mileswalcott7241]

It's just awesome just to see the mighty works of God in his creation of Matthew and jon
