Autistic piano prodigy wows 'Piano Man' Billy Joel

  Eyewitness NewsCONNECTICUT (WABC) -- A piano prodigy in Connecticut has even impressed the Piano Man himself.

Six-year-old Ethan Walmark is in kindergarten and was diagnosed with autism.

His parents first noticed his piano skills at age 1, when he figured out "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" all by himself.

He's since moved on to songs by Elton John, The Beatles, Billy Joel, Beethoven and Mozart.

In fact, Ethan's mom says Joel told her that Ethan is a better player than he is.
