Anyone heard of that mysterious "Piano Man" in Kent...?
Fantastic response to 'Piano Man'
A helpline set up to identify a mystery man who stunned carers by giving a virtuoso classical piano performance has been inundated with calls. The man has not said a word since police picked him up wandering the streets of Sheerness, Kent, in a soaking wet suit and tie on 7 April. His social worker Michael Camp said the man, in his 20s or 30s, is usually very anxious but "comes alive" at the piano. Orchestras around Europe are being contacted to see if they know him. The National Missing Persons Helpline is appealing to anyone who recognises the man to come forward. Mr Camp said there had been a "fantastic" response.
...
The man's talent came to light after staff at the Medway Maritime Hospital gave him a pen and paper in the hope he would write his name. Instead the patient, dubbed The Piano Man, drew very detailed pictures of a grand piano. The man shocked staff with a performance of classical music after Mr Camp showed him the piano in the hospital's chapel.
...
The man has since written music, which has been verified as genuine.
...
Several lines of inquiry have been followed, and the hospital brought in interpreters to see if the mystery patient was from Eastern Europe. He is now being held in a secure mental health unit in north Kent while an assessment is carried out. Mr Camp said he was "extremely distressed" and may have suffered a trauma.

Weird one, this. Could he be an autist? We have autist twin brothers at uni. One of them jumps around and shows people how he once kicked a ball up a uni building. The other one is a soft dood who's with some girl who carresses him. None of them ever speak a word unless you really provoke a big reaction, which soemtimes includes speaking-like articulations.
So what about this dude?
Of course it might be very mysterious bull**** as well
