It's amazing how we can learn to adapt to conquer our desires.

That's how I type but never tried playing the piano that way.

Wow that's awesome! Like Goose said, it's amazing how we can learn to adapt when it comes down to something we love doing. That must have taken quite a lot of practice, that part of the hand isn't exactly dextrous for even an AB never mind someone with a C5/6 SCI, so fair play to him that was awesome!!

That is what I find so AMAZING about the human mind...even when the body is "broken" it still finds ways to adapt sometimes even allowing us to continue our passions. :cheers:
