This is fascinating. A few years ago I had a "sudden" musical accomplishment that overlapped with some medical issues. After reading the article, I asked Good Old Dr. Google about my medical condition and the Central Nervous System and... There are some published papers describing some observed links between them. To be clear, I am in no way, shape or form a savant at anything. Comparing me to these people mentioned would be folly. In my late teens and early twenties, I tried quite a bit to play the guitar and was never very good and I definitely could never sing and strum at the same time. I never touched a guitar again for nearly 20 years until my wife signed me up for a local folk music class. At the very first lesson, I sang and strummed as if it was naturally easy for me, until my fingers were so sore I couldn't make chords anymore. Certainly nobody is going to be paying money to hear me play, but I've received quite a few compliments about how well I do.
