[Dixielandjazz] Jazz amputees

[JBruno868@aol.com]

Actually I for one would look forward to it and also to sharing it with other 
amputee's I know. Of course that is because I am one myself but it is great 
to see some amp's living the life they used to before amputation and doing 
something they love. It's not always easy to continue playing after an 
amputation. I loved playing the washboard but now that I use a wheelchair it 
is hard to get around some of the gigs I use to play at and up on a stage.

I have a friend who has been waiting and looking for 7 years after becoming a 
leg amp. to figure out how to peddle her piano. Anyone have any ideas.

Hugs

Judie

on the above subject is not only a bit bizarre but also a little sick? At a 
gathering of around 20 jazz friends, with wide jazz/musical tastes, I 
mentioned this topic and was met with increduality plus comments along the 
lines of 'You've got to be joking?" and "That is the sickest thing I have 
heard of for a long time". >>
