Larry King’s interviewing Kellie Lim reminded me of one of the artists I really respect. His name is Django Reinhardt. I don’t remember precisely where he was born, but I think he was born somewhere in Europe. He had learned how to play such musical instruments as guitar, banjo, and violin since his childhood. He was a talented artist, but one night he was severely injured in a fire and lost control of two fingers of his dominant hand. His leg was paralyzed as well. It was said that nobody could imagine that he would be able to play the guitar again. I just happened to know about him when I was reading a music magazine, and it said that at the night he tried to rescue his guitar from the fire and got injured. It’s because he was poor and the guitar was so valuable to him and meant a lot to him. Anyway, he had made a great deal of efforts and developed his own style in playing the guitar. I play a guitar too, so I know how hard it is to play the guitar with only three fingers.
Well, I have to write more. So I’ll change a topic. When I was watching the video clip, I noticed in a news ticker (from 3:10) that Michael Moore got a subpoena over a trip he made to Cuba while filming the documentary “Sicko”. Have you ever watched it before? Some people don’t like the way Michael brought up an issue while others absolutely love it. So if you have time, you might want to check out the documentary.

As I told you in the class, it's unbelievable to play the guitar with three fingers. Nothing is impossible in the world.
I know Michael moore is famous for those documentary like a Fahrenheit 9/11, but I haven't watched his works yet. And, your saying made me want to see his new doc as well as the 9/11 one.
