Maybe you were looking for good old fashioned entertainment, but when you opted to see a man playing two pianos [at once] over Tony Melendez, the armless man who plays the guitar with his feet, you lost. Tony doesn't just play the guitar, he has mastered his art, playing better than many with both arms and all 10 digits. He plays with virtuosity, not like a freak in a side show, and he has a testimony of courage to go with it. He played for Pope John Paul II and has done several CDs. He is not to be overlooked a second time.
