GUEST,Carol-Ann Ballard Guitarists - Dupuytrens Contracture (42) RE: Guitarists - Dupuytrens Contracture 30 Sep 15

Davey Graham was diagnosed with Dupuytren's Contracture in September 2008 - prior to this he had some treatment for his hands - in Europe.
Despite this - without the stresses of public performance - his playing was exceptionally haunting, beautiful, passionate, exacting...when his hands were able - he played. His loss of touch sensitivity was like playing with gloves on but he transcended these limitations and played with a spiritual impulse that was so moving to experience...He was composing again too.
Dupuytrens Contracture - Davey understood - he shared your frustrations. Hope this offers all you sufferers some comfort.
