Wow! Derek Paravicini on 60 Minutes |
|
A young man who is severely disabled, but a musical savant. He does things that no musician would seem to have the courage to dare to do. Yet he is incapable of knowing how old he is. This piece brought me to tears. Wow. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6289316nhttp://www.sonustech.com/paravicini/

3. He reminds me of my son |
|
my son isn't a savant. he is high-functioning autistic. but he started reading when he was 3. I read to him a lot and he simply memorized words.
his personality reminds me of this guy, very much.
my son loves to act. when they talked about the wave of applause flowing over someone, I thought back to when my son was in elementary school and got to perform on a big stage.
it's wonderful when you have the family support that this guy does - and of course, the wealth that undergirds that support.
That man's story is very inspiring.
