Aw! :'(
This is the first time I have been genuinely sad at someone, that is announced on this board, dying! :(
Almost feel like someone I know has died. Well, not quite that far.
Thanks for the info anyway, cos I don't look at news.
RIP Kim Peek.

Although never a musical prodigy, Peek's musical abilities as an adult were receiving more notice when he started to study the piano. He apparently remembered music he heard decades ago and could play it on the piano, to the extent permitted by his limited physical dexterity. He was able to give running spoken commentary on the music as he played, for example, comparing a piece of music to other music he had heard. In listening to recordings he could distinguish which instruments play which part and was adept at guessing the composers of new music by comparing the music to the many thousands of music samples in his memory.

Mm, right you are! Didn't know that, thanks! :)

It's sad when humans die, but please stop worshiping this useless freak of nature.
This guy was nothing but a human photocopier. His extraordinary memory contributed NOTHING to this planet.
Why?
Because he couldn't think independently.

There's nothing to discuss, and you know it.
I am right on this.

Do you think independently in the true sense of the word arse? Who's that idiot on here that'll argue this to the death?
