I'm convinced its just as simple as practice, and that there's not really any other factors involved. I too know a huge number of songs and can play in the dark, even with my minimal training. Being blind isn't really much of a factor, as part of any good musician's training should be to play in pitch black so that there's no need to look at the instrument. Piano is one of the easier instruments for this, because the layout of the keys guides your fingers. I've had a lot more trouble playing guitar and bass blind than piano. I have little doubt that most people could do everything he does, if they dedicated their lives to it. (Rare cases like my mother, where there is an actual biological problem, are of course the exception. She is completely, utterly tone deaf, and actually cannot tell the difference between notes played up to two octaves apart. The entire remainder of my family, even my extended family, is fine.) Never underestimate the power of hard work and practice. I don't do what he does because I don't care that much; I like programming more.
