C'mon. I'm not the only Southpaw on this board, am I? If you're out there, brother/sister/Threeboot Durlan Lefties, speak up!
It's time we got together and rose up against our oppressors. Failing that, we at least need a convenient spot to freely disseminate left-centric information.

I'm not left-handed, but definitely left-leaning ...

Okay, but you'll still be expected to pay dues like everyone else.

I remember being disappointed when I found out that IRL, neither Paul nor Art was actually left-handed.

And, FWIW, Paul McCartney made playing left-handed so cool that I tried to play the same way when I first started taking guitar lessons years ago. My instructor discouraged me from learning to play left handed, though. She said it might "confuse" my brain.

Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos is also left-handed. So was Folk Blues great Elizabeth Cotten.

So was Jimi Hendrix. Of particular note: He played a right-handed guitar without the strings reversed for left-handed playing.

Cotten did as well. It's supposed to be one of the reasons that followers have such a hard time emulating her style.

Okay, so... two of us so far.
I obviously need to invent some kind of Left Ray, or I'm never gonna' get this universeworld board domination scheme off the ground.

I was found in a handbag in the left luggage department at Victoria Station, on the Worthing line.

My best friend is left-handed. I, alas, am a total Northpaw. Politically, I'm pretty left.

That's about the level I'm at with my right hand, but I'm not sure either of us would qualify as truly ambidextrous.

I'm right-handed but I've played hockey left-handed since I was a kid.

I am a lefty! There, I said it. My 4th grade teacher, Sister Mary Ewalda,. told me that being left-handed was a sign of the devil. Oh, the horrors of a Catholic education!
