his name is Todd Simpson several videos out there. About 10 years ago I heard about a kid that was around 8 years old that played harmonica. he had lukemia & other health problems. At 8 years old he had spent more time in the hospital than at home - all kind of surgeries. I found his phone number called his parents & said he could sit in with me on any gig. He would come play harp at every gig and sing like robert johnson was awesome. I wasn't sure he'd live to be a teenager. Well he is about 19 now and about 3 years ago he started playing guitar. He has no idea what he is playing or how he is playing, he just does it. It's way over the top for me but he's a good kid, good family and I so glad he is getting some attention. He has had really tough life

That would be impressive without the back story. Considering what the kid has gone through, just shows you that there are things in this world greater than any of us.
