Ben Folds, What The Hell Are You Doing

Though I don't hear the resemblance, some of my music has been compared to Ben Folds. I guess it's because we both play the piano. I think Ben is an amazing talent, and I'm a fan. But I admit there are times when I'm left scratching my head at him. (Can you scratch your head "at" someone?)

I feel like I'm the only one not getting his joke sometimes, so I'm asking for your help. Can you tell me what the hell he's doing at the end of this video, below? I'm a fan of Ben Folds, and I'm a fan of The Postal Service, so I'm psyched to see Ben playing a Postal song. But he does something inexplicable at the end. Help.

Here's The Postal Service original version, just for fun...




I'm currently working on "Cascades," which will be song #3 on my new online album An Ocean Overhead. I'll holla soon when it's here and ready to be downloaded. If you are on my email list, you'll hear me when I holla.
