Hi Folks Just want to share this little piece with you all,there is a young guy on you tube that keeps me sane his name is Trevor Lemon and he has learning disabilites. I first met him in a club i was doing 2/3 years ago and he asked me to help him do a few songs by Elvis,i spent time with him and helped him find a pitch.Now despite his disability he is out there doing his `stuff`and when i watch him i feel so humble,when you look at Pat`s post this also brings it into perspective for me proves music has no barriers Well done Trevor www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Yx7YmNgZboweegeo Edit

Music is an incredible thing, I know of a couple of severely disabled people who are great musicians, one on the piano and the other on harmonica.
They say that we have all got a talent somewhere, and I think this proves it.

Thanx for your kind words guys i take no praise for it this young man has an inbuilt talent that he tries to let out,he was/is an absolute joy to work with and he gives it his all everytime,i wish i had half his energy,i am in the process of doing a recording with him and he plans to send it to all the disability clubs he sings at,i`ll keep you informed. Thanks for reading this post we on this site have been blessed with a hugely different array of talents and here is one more for the pot.
Regards weegeo

It's a great piece to post Weegeo. I hope Trevor carves out a future for himself and more importantly a livelihood.
I can relate to this, as my young grandson is autistic and our family often wonder and hope that he can achieve an independent lifestyle. Who knows whats in store for any of us.
Keep up the good work and if I can help or be of assistance in any way, drop me a line.

Thanks Jamesy i sure will let you know. This lad has a string of problems but when he gets up and sings he becomes a different lad all together,i have never had as much satisfaction in watching an `act` as i have had with this kid he makes me humble and i marvel at his concentration and his devotion to his `art`if only there were more like him on the scene now,i`m afraid you and i are know dinosuars good buddy Thanks again i`ll keep you intouch with his developement
George
