Story Summary
Derrick's Uncle Booker T was teaching Derrick to play the harmonica but Derrick just couldn't feel the music the way Uncle Booker T did, that is until cold weather came and Derrick found his Uncle on his porch too crippled with arthritis to play. To ease his Uncle's pain Derrick reached way down into his heart and played like he had never played before.
