I have a bit of a musical head on nowadays, what with all these Your Music features, finding songs to play at the end of the Podcast, and what have you. Anyway, Being the nosy researcher that I am, I had a little brouze on the internet for some more global representation, and came up with some fantastic results.


There is some particularly remarkable stuff on YouTube. A clip called the , shows Iraqi musician Naseer Shamma playing the Oud(middle eastern guitar) with one hand. Apparently, he developed this technique to give amputees and disabled people an opportunity to play music. Then, I found a clip of some ,
playing wedding music "outside one of the temple sites at Angkor".

And finally, some , played by a blind man in Shanghai.

Don't forget to check out the Your Music section of ouch for some disabled musicians a little closer to home.
