Fingers

Three great musicians with digital deficiencies.

The French guitar maestro Django Reinhardt had two paralyzed and damaged fingers after a caravan fire.

Grateful Dead leader Jerry Garcia lost two-thirds of a finger in a wood chopping accident when he was four.

Finally, New Orleans icon Dr John started out as a guitarist. In 1960, a band member was being pistol-whipped. In protecting him, he put his hand over the attacker’s gun and had a finger blown off. So he switched to piano.

So he does this, without the requisite number of fingers.
