Looks like he's faking it to me.

Seems to be a glitch in the video. Curley was a multi instrumental player. He also played a 6 string guitar very well.

It is not a Glitch in the Video.

It was purposely done.

It is a 'sight-gag' that Curly came up with.

It is supposed to be that as Curlys wrist-
watch stops, so does the music.

As Curly taps on his wrist-watch to
'revive' it, the music also resumes.

It was meant to be humorous.

Curly was not really playing that piano, he
was just 'mimicking' playing the piano.

In 1969 I attended the big steel show over the fourth of July at The Longhorn Ballroom. I stood 5 feet from Curly as he did his set. When he was finished, Jimmy Day did his and Curly picked up a 335 type of guitar and accompanied Jimmy, and aced it.(of course) Remember, Curly was a lefty playing right handed on both instruments. Don't know whether his trumpet was for lefties or not Laughing

Way back when, I heard that Curly picked the brain of a piano player he worked with to show him just about every chord there was,In the seventies I was playing a club in Mankato, Mn. An older gentleman
came up to me & said, I used to play piano with
Curly Chalker, I said, Are you the one that showed him all those Chords? He said Yes! How's that for a small world? I wonder if anyone knows who he was?

Way back in 1975 I attended the CMA awards show and the post awards party. At the party they had a stereo-typical 5 or 6 piece cocktail jazz band and Curly was holding his own in the guitar chair with his 355.
