Bill Clements Fans????

Sign in to disble this ad
Guys,
Who out there is a fan of Bill Clements? I just ran across him on Youtube, and I'm floored.
I've got Cerebral Paulsy that Limits my right hand technique, and I've struggled to adapt and overcome BUT after watching Bill Play I'm cowering in the corner.
Just goes to show you, your limitations are limited only to your mind.

God Bless, Ray

Yes, There have been some threads here about him.
He is an inspiration. I have also had to overcome physical limitations but I was born with mine so I am used to having to adapt. It can be much harder for someone who has to relearn later in life. But in most cases willpower/desire are the only limitations.

This kid, as well, does pretty well with only one functioning hand.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bill play live at Lakland two years ago. His performance was remarkable and inspiring.

Bill is also one of the nicest guys you can ever meet. I gave up music for two years (I have hand deformities) and he's the reason why I started getting passionate about it again.
