Excerpt from the site :

"Minneapolis native Billy McLaughlin astounded audiences with his innovative guitar technique and composing style. In the late 1990s, he began to lose control of his hand and arm and was soon unable to play his own music. Many thought his career was over when he was diagnosed with focal dystonia, an incurable neuro-muscular disorder. Billy had other ideas: He began the arduous task of retraining himself to play left-handed, one note at a time."

A very interesting and inspiring story this one. It's amazing how much we are capable of when determination drives us. Also shows the importance of the need to take control of our conditions rather then 'them/it' control us.
