I hope territorial restrictions don't stop members outside of US from viewing this remarkable story:

I spent time a while back searchng for child musical prodigys. It's amazing. They are not only technically proficent but they seem almost to understand what they are playing

Joey Alexander was on the sixty minutes tv program last week. They interviewed him and his parents. Very impressive indeed. I just hope that he does not 'burn out', like so many other children who have been pushed hard at such a young age.
