Sport injuries inspire music.
A US teenager who suffered a
number of concussion episodes
playing sport has recovered to
find he can now play musical
instruments.
Formerly tone deaf and
unschooled in any musical
instrument, Lachlan Connors
from Denver, Colorado told the
BBC that he could now “just kind
of pick up” some 13 different
instruments including guitar,
mandolin, ukelele and bagpipes.
Dr Spyridon Papadopoulos
Lachlan’s physician, said
the ability was latent, only
manifesting after the “rewiring”
following the concussions.
The newfound musical ability is
some consolation for the boy who
has been told he will never be
able to play contact sports again
after the repeated concussions
led to hospitalisation, epileptic fits
and hallucinations.
