Eddie Adcock, Bionic Banjo Player

Eddie Adcock says "I'm almost fully recovered" from surgery to implant electrodes in his brain to relieve tremors in his left hand. It has been very difficult for Eddie to play up to his expectations.

Eddie said "I can play without tremors and as fast and as good as I ever did" All that remains is some "fine tuning" and removal of a few stitches. He states, "I will be good for 12 years," when his chest implanted battery is due for a change.

Eddie, a member of IBMA Board of Directors, was in attendance at the World of Bluegrass Monday.

Look for Eddie at an upcoming 'Good Morning America', where this remarkable procedure will be explained.
