Yes, that is New York Yankees centerfielder Bernie Williams playing guitar beautifully at Chicago's House of Blues in Bernie Williams: The Journey Within. In fact, the tune is his own composition, a lovely instrumental dedicated to his wife and part of a full set of warm funk, loping blues, and delicate ballads the multi-talented Williams is wont to perform on stage. The Journey Within is part concert, part overview of a man who first picked up a guitar as a young boy and continued to master it while helping the Yankees compete in multiple World Series. Surrounded by a fine band of familiar backup musicians and collaborating with Ruben Blades on some gorgeous, Latin-flavored numbers, Williams (who is introduced at the House by Rudy Giuliani) delivers a winning show that is part blues tradition and part personal. Lots of dialogue (some between Williams and Giuliani) about the parallels between music and baseball. --Tom Keogh

Bernie, along with many of music's top players, make for a wonderful video. The video has great music, emotional moments and alot of energy. Mayor Giuliani is terrific as the host.

Bernie is as good on the guitar as he is at baseball and that's pretty darn good.
