I'm building a new guitar. It's new design incorporates a shape that will sit on your lap/chest (belly), without rolling away from use when you let go of it. it's primary design is really no different than conventional guitars, however this one can be played and plucked left and right handed as you go because you can let go. This evening I saw a man play guitar with his withered right arm so small he could wear a watch up to his armpit, yet, Dr. Scott Smith put himself through college to get his degree-s playing guitar. Listening to his music, you can't hear his Polio he contracted at age 18- one month before the vaccination was distributed in 1955. People like that never have badges or ribbons to show they've conquered a major foe with bravery and valor.It moves me as much as those decorated with a purple heart. As I am typing this I am listening to Jon Gomm, a solo- one man band. I wonder, if he were to lose complete use of either arm, would he be half a man, or half a band- by himself?

Crunchy, in My book, anybody who can present him/herself in front of a gallery of critics, is to be applauded...even if they flop on the first note...
That's the thing about entertainment...People know when you are trying t please them... and they wont crucify you (as badly) as if you did not care about what your were attempting to do...
