Guest, don't blame clones. I started the thread with the BS prefix because the article I pointed to is more about politics than Testor the music man. I knew he had taught music at the school near his farm, and had heard him on the radio playing the kazoo with a classroom of kids during his campaign, but this was the first I knew of the lost fingers. They show him in tv campaign ads bucking bales of hay, getting his flattop haircut, walking wth the governor, smiling his friendly and truly joyful looking smile. I'd like to hear him play!
