Oscar P. Question

saw Oscar tonite, for like 15 min tonite-couldnt tell if he was using his left hand at all or not- does he play w/ both hands still?

Saw him last week. From what I could tell, I think he would hit a few notes with the left hand, but used it very little. And yeah, his set was mighty short. I think it is really physically demanding/exhausting for him to play these days, but every once in a while there was evidence of the old O.P. brilliance.

One thing I did notice is that since he has to slow down a bit now, his playing seems more emotional than it had in the past.
