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.)

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!

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

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 rotf2 people who play jazz always look like they are in pain, maybe that's why it's for the old ones only... cry wink
