MUSIC - Great Musical Geniuses

[David L]

I ran across this video of Rick Wakeman and his son Adam. When I saw them playing Starship Trooper together, father/son, what an awesome moment/performance by both of them.

YES is a band like early Genesis and Styx that are all on top of my list of the Greatest bands of that type of genre of music...

Only reason I chopped this video is out of respect for Jon Anderson

Speaking as a music illiterate, I think there are a lot of geniuses out there. I've known a few. The kid-age ones absorb math much easier than the general population. The adult ones speak multiple languages and seem to learn a new one pretty easily. I realize there's a difference between theory and actual playing, with the above videos focused on the playing part. And for personal boasting, often when I fix some computer or electrical problem for somebody, they (wrongly) think I'm a friggen genius .
