Some human beings are gifted with perfect pitch, others with total recall. Ben Skora can hand-build just about anything, without benefit of blueprint. A high school dropout, one-time recording company owner, Skora has for the past 30 years helped pay the rent by treating drug, drinking and other behavioral problem cases with hypnosis. But he admits to a life-long addiction of his own: gadgets.
