Gotta Love it,
There is a fellow that plays with a band,

Named "Lefty" Demarco.

Lefty's hand is malformed, but he is one of the best standup bassists around.

Plays with a rockabilly band outta austin.

Cool as hell to see live.

That is even more inspiration for me to learn how to play guitar.

Great player.  

One of my favorite all-time guitarists is Phil Keaggy - lost his right middle finger when he was ten.  (No - I don't believe the Hendrix story - never have).  

Guys like this love the music, and they overcome whatever it takes to play, and shine.

He's four times the player I am with two hands.

Cool and all - but I think cutting your own hand off just to show your bass-zilla prowess is a tad extreme (and not in a 'Mountain Dew Xtreme' kind of way either).

That's probably just about one of the most difficult ways to play any instrument. Left hand playing like that is incredible.

I hear ya... But here is my question.. Did he:

play bass once before THEN lose his hand and said "Im not giving up"

OR---

lose the hand and one day say "You know, I think today I will learn how to play the bass"

Either way, this guy is amazing for just his perserverance.
