TEDxLakeshoreEast - Danny Leavitt - New York State of Mind October 9, 2011

Favorite:

For this afternoon's performance, Danny has decided not to reveal the cure for cancer. He will not be discussing his journeys with the Bushman tribes of Angola or releasing hungry malarial mosquitos into the audience. Such matters seemed too mundane and predictable for a TED talk. Instead, Danny hopes to utilize his piano skills and stunning good looks to provide a bit of musical entertainment. Danny is best known for his portrayal of George Harrison in the internationally recognized Beatles tribute band, American English. As a Beatle, Danny has charmed audiences from Amsterdam to Anchorage, Las Vegas to Liverpool. When he's not donning the full Sgt. Pepper regalia, Danny works as a software engineer and plays with his original band, "The Webelos."

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
