Old favorite

I think I first read this eons ago in one of the magazines, Asimov's most likely. The story's fine, but bits have stuck with me, like when the blind boy learns the importance of the period, and keeping the columns of numbers straight (OK, I still haven't learned this for myself). And Beep-ball. One of the ways that our hero's heroics become believable. And at one stage I had gotten most of the music he listens to. Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert is still a favorite.
