This English guy is blind and has many other problems, yet he has a 
computer-like memory for music which is matched only by his creative 
abilities to play in any style.

Derek is a musical genius and is the nephew of Camilla Parker Bowles.

He also plays the piano like you've never heard played.

Yet he doesn't know his age nor does he know how to hold up three fingers!

Here’s a YouTube video of him playing Tiger Rag, followed by him 
accompanying a choir singing a Christmas carol:

There’s lots more of Derek on YouTube, and you only need to put his name 
into the Search box.

Enjoy!
