One of my guitar heros and a continual source if inspirtation in spirit was/is a fingerstyle player named Pete Huttlinger. Tony did a great interview with him before he passed. He too suffered a stroke but his living was earned by playing. He too had to learn guitar twice and the tale is worth a listen.
