The hands of a savant rest atop his keyboard in his family's living room in Independence, Kansas. This was one of several images used to illustrate a story on the young man. While the word reporter and I watched, his mother turned on a radio to a random song for about 30 seconds. When the radio was turned off, the young man replayed with perfection the song he'd heard.

Photographed with a Nikon FM2n and Nikkor 35mm lens.
