National Public Radio announced that Gaelynn Lea, Duluth, has won its annual Tiny Desk Contest. The singer/violinist has osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), aka brittle bone disease. Only about 50,000 people in the U.S. have OI, making it an "orphan disease" that's about three times more rare than ET.
But being a fellow "orphan" isn't the nearly the most interesting thing about Gaelynn Lea. You can read the story from the link. But for my money, playing the video will tell you everything you need to know.
Thank you, Gaelynn, for bringing five minutes of beauty into a wintry, cold afternoon.
Be well!

ET is a serious disease that requires specialist care. Discuss anything you read here with your doctor. No comments promoting "alternative" or "natural" cures (yes, this includes Rick Simpson's Oil) will be published.
