Concussion Turns Man into Musical Genius

The brain is a mysterious thing.  Sometimes even damage can make things better.

Take the case of Derek Amato who cracked his head on the bottom of a book.  Yes, he endured headaches and the usual post-concussion issues--but something else happened.  He suddenly became a musical savant.

Watch this video.  Before the accident, he could only poke at the piano.  Now, though...wow.
