Wow, such a gifted individual. Fascinating bio as well.
Cool.
God bless him! Thanks for sharing the link.
I'm not lazy, I'm just very relaxed.
Wow. This guy has some real talent.

He certainly keeps right on the melody after the extended intro.
He is holding his right hand almost straight out from the instrument, perpendicular to it almost.
He's blind, he's never see anyone else play.

Thank's Steve - that was very cool. Definitely read the bio.
Gifted individual. His technique works well for him.
"I love the smell of my mandolin in the morning. The smell, you know ... that varnish smell. Smells like victory."
Judging by his beautiful clean playing, I think I'm the one with a handicap. He obviously has great ears.

WOW
hydroxyapatite, the substance, is explained here - i don't know how it relates to eye surgery or how much he can see having had it:

he sure runs up and down that fingerboard - very much at home. interesting way of holding a pick, too.
thanks for posting that!
I think it doesn't actually result in returned vision, just in non-artificial "glass eye" appearance and movement.

Pretty cool improv though. And check out his piano playing, which seems truly world-class.
