Hi, Gang I'm Eddie I am 61 years old and I have been playing and singing professionally for about 40 years.. I started singing at the age of 5 and I started playing clarinet and sax at the age of 8 and those were my main instruments through high school. In 1980 I had an accident and lost the ring and pinky finger of my right hand (hence Eddie 3 Fingers lol) so I started playing rhythm guitar (not great but enough to get by)until 1988 when I discovered midi. From that day on I mostly switched to keyboard and have ever since. [along with being a musician and playing a minimum of 4 nights a week, I also had and or worked for construction companies during the day building homes and apartment complexes] I have been married for 41 years and have one son who is one of the best guitar players I ever heard and he played with me on stage since he was 12.... He is a Doctor of Computer Science and Engineering and currently works in Ireland. So there is my introduction...! Thanks for adding me to the group ! Eddie

Welcome Eddie, Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath has lost the tops of 2 fingers on his right hand. He tried to learn to play left handed for a while but gave up and adapted his playing style accordingly to his right handed status.
