After a severe bump on the head, a man started playing the piano even though he never had a piano lesson. He has already recorded two albums and is playing seven other instruments (“The Week” Magazine, 6/22/12.)

Wow, thats something else.
Theres a few around here could use a bop on the noggin, myself included.

I would expect that after the concussion he would want to stay away from head banging music.

I would want a bump on the head as well, but with my family's luck, I would become a bagpipe virtuoso!

You took the words right out of my mouth... just imagine taking a knock on the head and then been able to play progressive jazz on the KB, what the hell is progressive jazz anyway ???? Doh!!!

In your case, Tony, anything done after 1920 .

I thought severe head injuries caused people to play Jazz on accordions.

NO- just the chicken dance- over and over again......

...or switch from Korg to Yamaha. Nah, head injuries don't get THAT severe.

....kidding, kidding.

This is Jazz on an accordion, what next, it sounds like someone rattling a bag of spanners, he needs to get the right dots next time people who play jazz always look like they are in pain, maybe that's why it's for the old ones only...
