My kids and I met him at the park about a year or so ago and he was just amazing. When I found this vid, I just had to post it. Enjoy! (Also, I really hope this isn't a double.) posted by snsranch at 6:50 PM on September 22, 2006
That's pretty great. And I much prefer his exuberant vocals to Tom Petty's grating nasal whine. posted by flapjax at midnite at 6:51 PM on September 22, 2006

No-ho-hooo... LIDD'L BRUDDOR! That little guy... He's got the heart of a champion! You can make it, Li'l Brudder! You just keep scrapin' along! posted by furtive at 7:03 PM on September 22, 2006
He could if he fashioned some sort of bottleneck slide he could attach to his toe. posted by flapjax at midnite at 7:31 PM on September 22, 2006
The article from Ability magazine linked at the video is pretty good, too. I don't have a Myspace account; does Goffeney have the Fox commercials he did up at his page? posted by mediareport at 7:44 PM on September 22, 2006
that's some damn fine lemonade. posted by carsonb at 8:02 PM on September 22, 2006
Please don't apologize for finding interesting things on the internet. Apologize for everyone else who thinks that's a bad thing. posted by blue_beetle at 8:17 PM on September 22, 2006

I lived in San Diego for a while, and he is by far the person with the most character in that entire town (ok, fine, and all mefites in San Diego). posted by |n$eCur3 at 11:14 PM on September 22, 2006
Armless or not, that doesn't cut it.
I'll never consider calling him in to a session or joining his band.
He has nothing (by virtue of that video) to bring to a band or an artist.
Impressive? Sure, on some level.
Important, salient, or noteworthy? Not really. posted by sourwookie at 11:19 PM on September 22, 2006

I think he'll get over it. posted by bunglin jones at 2:22 AM on September 23, 2006
I'm sorry he doesn't meet your high standards sourwookie. Probably none of us do. posted by a3matrix at 7:03 AM on September 23, 2006
Dammit, just when I got snarky. I retract the latter half of my post wookie.
No need to get pissy. I will go get a refill on my coffee now. posted by a3matrix at 7:04 AM on September 23, 2006
I've passed by that guy a few times. I remember my dad's girlfriend thought he really had arms and just learned to play with his feet for the fun of it. posted by Citizen Premier at 11:05 AM on September 23, 2006
That's incredible! I've been having serious difficulties learning the kick/hi-hat in drumming, this makes me realise just how limber and dextrous your feet can be with enough effort. posted by Jon Mitchell at 3:28 PM on September 23, 2006
