Yeah! He has fingernails on the opposite side of his hands. LOL. No I just see Calluses the size of Santa Clara. I shook his hand one time coming off the stage in the Village Vanguard. I'll never forget it. Every finger was covered with rubber protectors. Jeez!
ReplyDeleteYes, true.. he bandaged his fingers and then on top of that he wore some kind of little rubber things that looked like little condoms.
ReplyDeleteWhat is very noticeable in this photo is that he didn't have to do that back then or, he didn't do it on this particular gig.
