Hopefully you hit a tree sooner rather than later. Don't want you to die but maybe just knock some smarts into you.


Six years ago a Denver, Colorado man hit his head hard after diving into the shallow end of a pool. Days later, he sat down at a piano and discovered he was a musical genius.

Derek Amato is one of just 30 “acquired savants” worldwide. Each discovered an inexplicable abilty that was unleashed after an incident.

Amato was 40 years old at the time of the accident.

“I remember the impact being really loud. It was like a bomb going off. And I knew I hit my head hard enough that I was hurt. I knew I was hurt badly,” he described in a Science Channel documentary.

He was taken to the hospital with a serious concussion, and suffered some memory loss and hearing loss.

A few days after the accident, Amato visited a friend who had a keyboard and felt inexplicably drawn to the instrument, he told TODAY on Thursday.

He sat down to play and beautiful, fully structured, original music flowed from his hands. He played until 2 a.m.

“As I shut my eyes, I found these black and white structures moving from left to right, which in fact would represent in my mind, a fluid and continuous stream of musical notation,” Amato said in a blog post on the Wisconsin Medical Society website.

“I could not only play and compose, but I would later discover that I could recall a prior played piece of music as if it had been etched in my minds eye.”

That's asking a lot for this to happen to Spunky, I'd settle for a little common sense.
