Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Not sure where/if I fit in. Born a lefty, broke my left arm at 4.5, so started using my right and it became dominant. I still do a few things better with my left, including dealing cards-which usually warrants a few of these::eyebrow:.

Now my brother was a complete opposite. He shattered his right arm just before he started Kindergarten and was in a cast from his shoulder to his finger tips for almost 3 years. There was nothing the so called educators could do. He is a lefty to this day. Says it works to his benefit because lefty guitars have better deals.

Just to assure you I am not blowing smoke here is my ticket.

Next I happen to be time traveling to those coordinates, I'll look you up. You'll recognize me by the secret code signal. I say

Waiting for the electrician?

The stock market is down today because of the Coronavirus. What twits.

Sales of Corona beer are way down. People don’t want to say, I’ll have a Carona.

A club of four.

I started with lessons at a music school. The school apparently believed that everyone should play right handed. In orchestras, you couldn’t have fiddle, cello, and bass players bowing left handed, you could take an eye out. So they had a rule. There was no discussion, I did what I was told. I didn’t even know that there were left handed instruments till I saw the Beatles.
I do everything left except bass and guitar played viola starting in grade school. they would not teach me left handed so fretting with the left hand just made sense when I picked up bass
