There are some people we meet in our "60 Minutes" stories who we just can't let go, whose next chapter we're almost compelled to follow. Like Derek Paravicini,
a masterful musician who is blind, with disabilities so severe he can't tell his right hand from his left or hold anything but the simplest of conversations.

"60 Minutes" and correspondent Lesley Stahl started following Derek because of his gift at the piano, but it's what he has taught us about relationships,
communication and what music is really all about that has kept us coming back.
