What an incredible story. Born 15 weeks premature, Rachel was blind since the age of 3 months. Discovered the piano when she was 3, discovered the world of Progressive Rock (especially Emerson Lake & Palmer) when she was 9, started flute within time, and guitar in her teens. At 16, her mother videotaped her doing the entire 21 minutes of the Tarkus suite and put it up on YouTube, and this would catch the attention of Keith Emerson himself! Here is her with one of her own compositions, "Greg's Favorite" (Yes, named in honor of Greg Lake, who she befriended).
