I am only aware of one other one armed musician, Rick Allen, drummer for the Rock Band, Def Leopard.
This documentary was an eye opener, not least because, I played keyboards in various bands, until a few years ago,
To play one handed sounded like an impossibility, which drew me to watching. I was astounded, and more than impressed.
As the documentary progressed, I learned many things I was not aware of e.g., left handed piano pieces being composed by some of the world's revered composers and, a left handed pianest, Paul Wittenstein being lauded in of all places, the TV series M. A. S. H. This confirms I have not seen oll of the series because, if I had, I would have learned more.
Excellent documentary which caught my attention, and held it from start to finish. Something that doesn't always happen in this day and age.
