I'm sure most you have seen footage of Bill Clements, the amazing one-armed bass player..

Well how about the no armed bassist?

Check out this video from the band "Big Toe"...

I don't know who the bass player is, but that's damn impressive!

He's also singing. I have trouble walking without falling sometimes, let alone using my toes to play bass. That's truly inspiring. Makes all of your complaints about "not being able to play that lick" or "sit in the groove" or "the mix doesnt sound right" seem like a waste of life. Rock on man!

I could be wrong, but I think I saw this guy in Blaboa Park a few years back playing an acoustic guitar. I'm glad to see he made it
