Forging a New Path with Multiple Sclerosis

Joan Jeanrenaud was the cellist with the avant-garde Kronos Quartet for twenty years. In 1998, she was forced to leave the group after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Rather than lamenting what could have been, Joan has found new artistic direction as she has learned to live with MS. [The music featured in this story is from Jeanrenaud's albums "Metamorphosis" (New Albion) and "Strange Toys" (Talking House).] Reporter: Nick Vidinsky
