There are tons of amazing lefties throughout history, so who's your "favorite" lefty of all time? I think mine is probably Hendrix... your thoughts?

Probably McCartney...

I thought about saying McCartney, but Obama hasn't been in charge long enough for me to decide on him... I like him quite a bit in theory. There's tons of others, but it wouldn't be much fun for me to just list a bunch of lefties who I think are awesome. So I'll let everyone else chime in instead.

hey Matt is your band a band still, and if so are you playing anywhere close so I can come watch?
if no more band and your health is back to normal and you didn't break any more bones, give me a shout. We still need a lefty guitarplayer to make it a perfect triangle on stage
