Song at 14:30 is called "Bens Boogie" named after my grandfather. Sasha was my inspiration to start playing the piano. He is still incredible to this day! Thanks for sharing this

​​@@creativelight100 I first met and saw him open the SF blues festival when he was younger than he is in this video. His father on bass (just like in this video) and I helped him put some stuff on stage. I asked "what are you gonna play?" He said "A tribute to James Booker". He rocked the 88s so well I fell in love with that type of music from then on and found the passion for the piano because of him. I saw him a few times in Sebastopol at my grandfather's after this. He was getting better and better. Then he played at his going away party for college and John Allair played as well. Super fun. He also came to play in my hometown at a street parade. Made a CD of it. Fun times. This was all a long time ago. Still keep in contact with him and his father 🙂
