She has four fingers and two of them don't function very well. She has no legs below the knees. She didn't let that stop her. It's an inspiring story if you have the time for a ten minute video.

Thanks Rich! Nice story!

The first piece in the video is from Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in C Sharp Minor, which is one of my most favorite pieces of music. After hearing it here, I got out my CD and played it, twice. For me, it is quite possibly the most amazing 5 minutes and 10 seconds (+/-) of music ever written. For those of you who've never heard it, I highly recommend getting a copy.

So, thanks for the story; and thanks for giving me the idea to listen to this amazing piece of music again this evening!
