Jason Becker film.

[Downy]

I have much respect and admiration for Jason and the way he keeps making music and not letting his illness hold him back.
The movie is in certain cinemas now and I think theres a showing in Sheffield if anyone lives up that way.
Heres the trailer.

What an inspiration to never give up.
Anyone who remembers Jason Becker will know what a fantastic talent he was when he was playing with DLR.
I thought he had MS as the last time I saw any footage of him he was in a wheel chair but still able to communicate & play his guitar to a degree.
Jason Becker deserves all the plaudits he gets for his music. To be trapped inside a lifeless shell would see off lesser men, me included. To create new music with just the use of his eyes is spectacular and I was lost for words watching that trailer.
I feel very humbled.
Thank you so much for posting it Paul.

Amazing stuff.... such a talent.

Sadly, this is the same disease that has struck down Toto bassist Mike Porcaro in recent years too

Your welcome Danny.
Shame that Mike Porcaro has the same illness.

I have absolutely no idea what I'd do if I was in their position.

An incredible man - it's stories like that which make me look at my own problems and see that they aren't that big a deal.

Me either he's one hell of a man to do what he does everyday.

Very true it does make you think how fortunate we are to be healthy.
