Mary-Sue Re: handicapped folkies participating. Great inclusiveness. This reminds me I read years ago about a man with severe cerebral palsy who couldn't perform himself, but loved country music and managed to communicate songs he'd composed to a person who knew him well.
If I remember this right the composer was Wayne Prongor (an unusual name). I can't remember the name of his friend, but that man had an album recorded with Wayne's songs that were performed by someone else.
Because Wayne's music was in the country style I didn't look for it as I'm not a fan of that genre. But the story has stuck in my mind. It shows that each person has something in his or her heart that may need a bit of help to come out.
Wondering whether the following show which is country focussed might know of that artist.
