Modern Medicine Restores Legendary Banjo Player

Legendary banjo player Eddie Adcock recently underwent DBS (deep brain surgery) to counterattack a tremor in his right hand, allowing him to continue playing the bluegrass music that he loves so much. This piece was originally aired on ABC's "Good Morning America" on 10/3/2008.
