The situation is especially unique because Grant has a disability that left his arms and legs shortened and atrophied. As such, he makes adjustments when using utensils or a computer. What fascinated me in this instance, however, was how ordinary driving is for him. Even more intriguing was seeing a new side of him. Grant's just like me and my readers--an ebullient theater geek with a high-wattage personality. An Edward Zanni.
But he drives like someone's grandmother.
Speaking of theater geeks, here's another ebullient teen doing a shockingly accurate imitation of Patti LuPone in Gypsy. It never ceases to amaze that there's a whole world of us out there.
By way of comparison, here's the real thing:
Compare. Contrast. Discuss.

I'm not sure which Gypsy version I like better, both are good for a wake-up alarm.
Your blogs these past few weeks are a great morning read. I've been out of the country and need a brain jolt past jet lag but I'll skip the Vit Water and stick with real jam.
i think it's all the biking--it's influenced your energy.
and that's the first i've seen of michael burbach; he is indeed fabulous. during the video my eyes continually wandered to the unmade bed and the unkempt pile of clothes behind him, and i kept wondering what his mom/roommates were thinking while he was recording this... :)
My thoughts exactly, Pat.
What I love MOST is his facial expressions that are EXACTLY Patti LuPone's facial/mouth expressions! He was brilliant...
He is very good. How can I turn this into my cell phone ring?
