You never heard of them, but can make your jaw drop when they play.

He can pretty much play any instrument he picks up, it is sort of freaky.
I have friends cousin that is like that... most people don't realize there is a lot more to being a great musician that just playing... you have to give up your privacy and a lot of your free time AND put take a lot of BS from the industry... some VERY talented people just can't/won't put up with it.
