He's good, but I have to put Stanley Jordan a notch higher, although perhaps Stanley defies the whole concept of right and left handed.
If you've never seen him play, do a search for him on YouTube and be amazed.

That’s funny; me too. My X is a complete lefty, I’m a lefty who does all fine motor skills with the left hand but uses the right hand for strength and power, and our kid was a lefty until age 4 whereupon she decided to become a righty.
Bad choice. :)

Get a couple of liberal kooks and soon well be passing laws against left-handed hate crimes. Yeah, but for the safety of all involved we'll only allow them crayons to write them.

Hey!I’m left handed and never have any problem operating power tools or hammers. I have the voices in my head to help me when the going gets tough.

when you have members in the freemasons like jesse jackson and al sharpton, you really have to question the standards.

Until the day she died my mother apologuzed to anyone who would listen for my being left handed.
She was a great believer in hereditary causes for most everything. She refused to believe she had a possibly fatal illness because it had never cropped up in her geneology.
But I digress..... she established that the first born of all my fathers brothers and sisters, ie my first cousins were left handed, thus relieving her of the responsibility. Strangely believe it, The first born of all my dad’s siblings was also left handed.

Calculator - right
Volleyball - right
Violin - right
Scissors - right
Bat - right
Eating - left
Handwriting - left
Tennis - Left (backhand - right)
Archery - left
Does this qualify me as ambi-dextrous?
To: counterpunch
I’m a lefty that plays the acoustic bass in the traditional right hand method. Strangely enough I have a dominate right eye so I play golf right handed and shoot a firearm right handed. In baseball I can bat either way but can only throw left handed. Tennis is left handed also. I write left handed except when doing caligraphy when I utilize the right..
To: A_Tradition_Continues
Does this mean you and I are bi-polar, LOL?
To: socal_parrot
Just keep away from me you left handed freak!!! I knew I was the only normal one in the family. By the way wasn’t the milkman right handed?

I was born left handed and forced to change (they used to do stuff like that!). My son is a lefty and he married a lefty.
We all nuts, so guess this is true ;) !!
Both of their children are right-handed, next generation is safe!

What happens when one of your multiple personalities is left-handed and the other is right-handed???
To: Liberty Valance
My wife and I are both left handed. She is profoundly left handed but I bat and golf right handed. I write, shoot and fish left handed. We were hoping our son would be left handed as well but he’s right handed and 4 inches taller than either one of us. And your mailman?
(Kidding, in case you have no sense of humor!)

I play guitar right handed. All the action is in the left hand, anyways!
And left-handed guitars are hard to find and expensive (more anti-lefty discrimination.)
I do as well with the same justification and I'm strongly left handed.

To: Ronin
The whole world discriminates against lefties in everything from the way they make tools, to the side of the door with the doorknob hell even the button on the back of our pants is for the convenience of righthanders...
Here's one that drives me CRAZY - those little folded paper cups that they serve samples in at Costco. The direction the cups are folded is for right handed people. When a leftie "scrapes" the spoon against the folds it isn't smooth (bump, bump, bump). Poor lefties.
