Born without eyes and the ability to fully extend his limbs, Patrick Henry Hughes does not let his "disabilities" come between him and his passion for music.

Through his talent and his tenacity for life, Patrick shows us the strength of the human spirit against adversity.

He is a member of a university marching band in Louisville, Kentucky where his father pushes his wheelchair!

It was very moving, the boy can sing! I loved the fact that at the end, he sang the Gospel Song and the member of the design team (lady) was crying, it was a great moment.....

IF not for his handicap he probably wouldn't be as good as he is.

blind people can hear and feel better than the rest of us

No not necessarily, I just said that they can often hear and feel better than your average.

My best friend I grew up with from the age of about 4 he was blind and 90% deaf and he plays the piano... and sings... and yes most deaf people cannot speak fluently but he can and oh wow! He sang at my wedding and played the piano. When I asked him for the program what song he was going to play he said... not sure. I will write it as I sing it. He did and it was the most beautiful song and wow wow wow! Everyone was in tears! Thats the only good part about that wedding! LOL

It's a proven fact that when we loose one sense, the others make up the loss by becoming more sensative.
