Hendrix could play a righty strung guitar. Rusty Wiloghby from Flop is another
wrong way round player...Hector from Flying Color played bass that way too.
Megan, who plays with us sometimes is a lefty/ with a righty guitar. I have at
least one other pal here who does too. It's impossible to sit around and play
songs with 'em. Drives me crazy
I've got a couple of friends her
