LINDSBORG -- The first time Tremayne Blair touched a set of piano keys, he had the scare of his life.

Blair, who was born and raised in Galax, Va., was given a small keyboard at age 6 by his godmother. One day, the boy was watching well-known gospel singer Kirk Franklin perform a song on television.

Without thinking much about it, Blair began picking out the song note by note on his keyboard. His mother, Beverlee Trotter, stopped and watched him, awestricken. Then she began to cry.
