Critics have called his talent "spellbinding," but 10-year-old accordionist Guyland Leday has never taken a music lesson in his life. This young prodigy from Louisiana's bayou says he learned to play in a most unusual way.
When he was 3 years old, Guyland says his great-grandfather Delton Broussard, a famous accordion player, appeared in his dream and showed him how to play. "He came up in my dreams and gave me his accordion," he says. "I just started playing."
