Do you know the "piano man?"



This man was found wandering the road in Dartford, England in a wet suit and tie with the labels cut out. He has been in a hospital since April 7 and he has not spoken a word. When a social worker gave him a pencil and paper he drew a picture of a grand piano. The worker took him to the hospital's piano and the man sat down and played Beatles tunes for more than two hours.

Everyone was stunned. At the sight of a camera he curls up in a ball and cries. Could he be a celeb gone astray? God Bless him. The question is: Is he a musical genius or a hoaxer? He is always terrified they say, except when he plays piano.

The National Missing Persons Helpline has received 320 calls and 70 e-mails after releasing a picture of the man and one of his piano drawings on Monday. The health trust has also received a number of telephone calls.

Sounds like a classic Autistic. If you every watch "I Am Sam" it has some commentary in the extras. They said that researching Autistics they found that many of them were Beatles fans and know tons of info about them. Autistics love the Beatles, or at least some of them.
