Amnesic pianist in UK...

[drooxy]

Hi everyone,

Did you hear about that guy found wandering under a pouring rain and holding sheets of piano music on a beach in UK ?

It is not a joke ! Since then (two or three weeks ago), the guy has not said one word... He does not seem to understand english. He has been given a pen and he drawed a perfect concert piano... so he has been led to a piano and played a four hour repertoire.

Orchestras, music schools, etc... have been contacted to try identify him (in western europe as well as in eastern countries) but until now, no success !

He is very quiet and his face only starts to get animated when he sits at the piano...

I think this is a strange and wonderful story... and I wanted to share it with you guys !

And, who knows, maybe someone among you know him ?

All the best,
Drooxy

The part that cracks me up most is that he doesn't remember who he is apparently, but remembers a bunch of music!  I can't remember that much music even on a good day!

Er, what's your source? The version I heard was that he plays the same two or three short pieces over and over - hardly a 'four hour repertoire'. The doctors referred to him as an amateur...
