"I was told basically by the doctors ... that I would never play guitar again. Can you imagine?"-Liona Boyd
That's from a an inspiring story at The Star Phoenix called "Guitar's first lady reinvents herself".
Liona Boyd had a well established career as a virtuoso classical guitarist when she was confronted with focal dystonia, a medical condition that developed in her right hand. As a result, she had to alter her technique and change her repertoire.
She has released a couple of albums that feature her voice and is soon to release a third.
These videos show a sort of before and after...
