I think he just didn't care, Jim. He is too busy NOW, and face it, a large social media following doesn't mean much to a behind the scenes guy like him. Even with Covid he was getting calls. He is so low tech he does his videos on his cell phone. It is staggering how many songs you have heard with him playing on and didn't know it. I was surprised and I have watched him for a long time! His Wiki page is an amazing roster of stars. His video with Gordon Mote from a month ago is fantastic. Gordon has been blind since birth and plays the piano with such expression and emotion, because, as he says in an older interview, "this is how I see."

And allow me to add fuel to the side that poo-poos the value of reading and theory. (Which you all know I DO believe in.) He can't read a note of music. Yet to listen to him talk, he starts into flatted 5ths and minor 9ths and chord progressions... so he KNOWS theory well. He just doesn't know he knows.

I read his Wiki and started going and listening to songs he is credited on. There were so many to listen to it took a large part of a day.
