If I am the only person who'd never heard of her, please skip this post.
I was wandering YouTube watching Zappa vids and I see a Zappa Plays Zappa segment where Rachel joins Dweezil onstage and just shreds it on guitar. She has an unusual stage presence so I looked her up - 1 1/2 pounds at birth, blind since 3 months old.
But apparently she is mostly a keyboard player. Check out her many amazing Keith Emerson / ELP covers on YouTube. Amazing, and brings back so many memories from my ELP-loving days.
Oh, and watch her play "Portrait of Tracy" on bass - something else.
A truly inspiring musician who has inspired me to raise my game as a musician (well OK, drummer
) and a human being.
I am moved so very deeply by her - can't explain it.
