Guitar pick story #107: Encephalitis

[whvick]

I had a lady today who does not play guitar, but still gave me three stories.
She said her son (maybe nephew .. sorry busy day), had encephalitis and was slow in recovering his memory. The family brought his guitar to him, and although he was a good player, he did not even remember having a guitar. They put it in his lap, and it took a little time but his playing came back to him along with his other memories. She felt like the guitar had helped in his total recovery. He is fully recovered and plays all the time now.
