If I may take a swing at this...
Mr. Johnson, the solo act from Saturday, was what I had in mind when I ended up my previous post the way I did. It was theorized that he actually had a third hand (with not only the five normal fingers but two additional ones as well) attached somewhere, though it was never proven and any photographic evidence has since been quashed by the US Department of State.
His musical gymnastics were very much on par with the theme of the show, and those who remained for the performance were not disappointed. He proved his virtuosity repeatedly. He tended toward older works (heavily influenced by old blues, ragtime, and the like).
I'll expound in further detail of my personal feelings in my next post. I'm exhausted, however, so y'all will have to wait.
(I know, I can hear the groans of disappointment all the way out here!
)
