How music became the Central Park bombing survivor’s medicine

Connor Golden, the man who lost part of his leg in a mysterious 2016 explosion in Central Park, is now a musician who walks a tightrope.

Golden was climbing on some rocks when in Central Park with friends for a day of music and slacklining (a kind of tightrope) when he stepped on a bag filled with explosive powder that took part of his leg. The bomber has never been found.

During his recovery Golden played an electronic keyboard called the LinnStrument, and is now one of the foremost experts on the instrument.

He continues to slackline despite the prosthetic leg, and in fact recommends the discipline to other amputees, reports Chris Glorioso for NBC.
