Southpaws - stand up and be counted!

I noticed on the news tonight that Barack Obama is a leftie! Obviously a good bloke then.

Of couse, all the best people are lefties, just like me, and I believe Jem is as well, as I vaguely recall him grumbling that you couldn't get left-handed Stylophones.

Just wondered who else on the forum is a leftie?

...but the mighty Racing Hippo apparently put that (erm) right....

All right handed in Clan Pedro. My Mum was left-handed though....

Completely, totally and utterly!

I play drums "mirrored" and my git is a lefty.
Keyboard's easy; I just play it sitting behind it instead of in front of it. Looks really weird on a Steinway btw. But not as weird as on an upright piano! :shock:

I'm not but Pygmy Hippo is.

Is it possible to get pygmy-sized guitars in southpaw mode?

Me when I write, hold a snooker cue or tennis raquet etc, but if I ever play cricket, golf or strap on my air guitar, it's right.

Curiously, I work in HR and about 60% of my colleagues are lefties too...

I'm a leftie, as is Mrs Canary and daughter Canary. Son Canary is a rightie throwback of some sort.

Wife and I - both left-handed.
Kids - both right-handed.

(Aside: I once attended a BBC management training course and out of the twelve people there, nine were lefthanded. I don't know if that means the BBC attracts more creative right-brain types, or if we were just the ones that made the shit managers.)

I'm left-handed. My son is also.

Sue is a lefty, me and Sammi are normal. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

As a youngster, I started out as a natural left-handed writer but was 'guided' to being right-handed by my parents :roll: .
OK, it might have saved me 10% on guitars and has given me a greater choice of guitar models, but I often wonder what psychological damage being a repressed southpaw has done to me!

Brilliant, Pedro!

Sadly enough, it looks familiar to me from too much time spent posing in front of a mirror with the latest acquisition... :oops:
