Blind French Boy Sings B.B. King's Everyday I Have the Blues

He taught himself to play the guitar.
oritteroposays...

From http://aveugles.org/felix-impressionne/ this was filmed at the summer camp of the Fondation des Aveugles du Québec (Quebec Foundation for the Blind). (and therefore *canada)

Felix was born 3 months premature and his retinas detached due to oxygen toxicity at birth, and at first they were unsure if he would ever talk... so his family is very happy that he has turned out to have such a talent for music.

Felix loves BB King, of course, but also Les Colocs, Bernard Adamus, Stromae, Robert Johnson and Eddie Lang. He takes advantage of the summer camps to bring his guitar and put on a show.

It also says some other stuff about how the camp provides opportunities for blind children like Felix, and they hope he continues to flourish through music.
