You never know when those piano lessons you were forced to endure as a kid will pay off, and in the most unexpected way.
Video has recently surfaced of an unassuming man, dressed in nondescript clothes, sitting down and playing a piano piece for shoppers who were clearly unaware that they had such talent in their midst.
The unnamed man’s fingers fly across the keyboard while playing the cheery piano piece, “Alley Cat,”a 1962 release by Danish composer and pianist Bent Fabric.

The song is almost reminiscent of the kind of music you’d hear in an old-time saloon, but in fact, this guy was taking a break from shopping at the Goodwill thrift store in Norwalk, Ohio.
The video was posted by Chris Matta, one of the store’s managers, who wrote: “This gifted gentleman just walked into my store and moved me to tears..listen for yourself..only @ NORWALK GOODWILL., NORWALK,OH.”

Not surprisingly, the clip’s gone viral, with millions of views and tens of thousands of shares just in the last week.

It just goes to show, you never know what or who you’ll unexpectedly run into at your local thrift store.
Watch people’s reactions as this man spreads some joy during what would’ve otherwise been an uneventful day of shopping, and share!
