Real Talk Tuesdays: The Joy Pianist

DateTuesday, March 27, 2012 at 9:00AM

Those of you in the C-U area will probably recognize The Joy Pianist as Dr. Charles Joseph Smith (a fixture in the scene during the first decade of the new millienium). Depsite suffering from autism, Dr. Smith received his doctorate from the U of I and continues to enjoy live performance, dancing and music of every genre. This short doc was filmed by my good friend Kate Hathaway. Real talk? This melts my heart.
