Post TOTD show in Philly Stevie Wonder showed up at the piano bar at my hotel.
It was after midnight. I walked by the piano bar and it only had about 10 patrons , but one was Stevie.
He played for over an hour and also did a couple Beatles
covers. I still can't believe it

    Dude! That's one of those things where you tell people it happened but nobody believes you. What an amazing experience.

    Holy shit, man. That's incredible. He was on Colbert earlier and his voice sounded incredible.

    This happened in Memphis to me at the PJ show the night before. I just left my hotel to head down to Beale Street and missed him play to a small crowd of people.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I was supposed to see him at jazzfest, but the rain flooded the grounds and it was cancelled; we were sent home early. He ended up playing a playhouse theatre for like 150 people later that night.

    We should all consider ourselves lucky that we lived in the same time to hear Stevie Wonder. Truly a gift to music history. What an awesome experience that must have been!!

    Holy fuck. Nothing cooler will ever happen to you. I saw him on the Songs In The Key Of Life tour and it was magical. Would love to see him do one last Greatest Hits tour.
