Strange keytar video: Freebird solo, on keytar.

After all the strange keytar pictures we included in the post Proof That Herbie Hancock Is The Only Guy Ever To Look Cool Playing The Keytar, I thought we’d be able to take a break from that for a while. 

There’s been a healthy debate over our original theory, but, unfortunately for guys everywhere, no solid evidence has been dug up to disprove it.

Need proof of this unfortunate fact?
