There's a guy who busks Balboa Park who does one better -- he has no arms, being one of that small group known as thalidomide babies. His arms are stumps. He plays a guitar with his bare feet and has trained his toes to be almost prehensile. The guitar lies flat on the ground in front of him, on a blanket.   He belts out songs while strumming chords made with his left foot, strumming with his right foot, with enthuisiasm and style. Not half bad!
