@tylermunns , thank you for explaining that.

@asvjerry ,

My mom went to Catholic school. She was a natural lefty, but every time she tried to write left handed, she got a sharp rap on the knuckles. Terrible penmanship her entire life. So, A quick acknowledgment to the old school nuns and Catholic church for saving my mom's soul and left hand from the diabolical vices of Satan...

And I thought the OP was thinking of artists like Dred Zeppelin.  Actually, they are quite the musicians!  

+1!

I was just listening to ' Front Yard Barbecue'.

Terrific musicianship and a lot of fun. Robert Plante thinks they're fantastic.

@thecarpathian , my older brother was a 'southpaw', and went through the same nungrinder I did (and also 'got sprung' early)....  

They tried to beat the Palmer Method of Handwriting into him as well.  His cope was to curl his hand about so he could comply with the method.

He wrote fairly well, actually.

It didn't work AT ALL on me, although right-handed.....likely a source of my many run-ins' with them.  And my script still sucks....*L*

My cope is to print really fast.... ;)  Which I can do upside-down and sideways.

I can also draw in the same fashion, which really alternately bugs and amazes spouse and others....

I learned to be really flexible in some ways.... *G*

Organised religion is the single worst thing in the history of the world.  We all wish Mr Rushdie a return to good health.

@asvjerry ,

My family has an odds defying amount of lefties.

12% of the world is left handed, in my immediate family 4 of 7, including myself.

Of all my known relatives, lefties are actually the majority. Interestingly, my father’s last name before it got Americanized on Ellis Island, in Polish translates literally as  'Sin, violation of religious law'.

Oh, my. Suddenly I have the urge to say 9 Our Fathers and wash with holy water...
