I, like bigchuck, got to jam with him a few times. If I hadn't seen, I'd call anyone who described it a liar.

It isn't that he had no left hand. He had no left arm from about 3-4 inches below the elbow. First time I saw him take out the fiddle, I said to myself, "What the hell is he going to do with that?" But he could really play.

I'm amazed that he was that old, though. I'a of said in his sixties.
