Talk to The Hand . They say you should always sing from the heart, but no one ever said anything about what do to with the hands. Enter
Robert A. Wilson, N6TV, manualist extraordinaire. If you thought the
Human Beatbox from Spearhead was great, wait until you see Robert perform the
Theme from Hawai'i Five-O or for Classical music lovers, there's
The Toreador Song, from Carmen and
The William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger Theme).
Robert is no stranger to talking with his hands. He's also a ham radio operator, a
hobby and
public service which is not only
celebrating 100 years of wireless voice communication, but also makes excellent use of another mode of communicating with the hands:
Morse Code. As old and seemingly antiquated as it seems at first glance, Morse Code has been used to allow those with
physical challenges communicate with those around them.
