I totally need some inspiration to get this day going, and PS3ZA member Reiger kindly obliged with this amazing video. Tony Melendez was born in Nicaragua without any arms, a consequence of the thalidomide his mother was prescribed during her pregnancy. He was fitted with artificial arms and wore them til he was 10 years old, after which he disposed of them, saying that he could use his feet so much more.
At the age of 16, Tony started to learn the guitar, a task some people thought couldn’t be done because of this disabilities. Not only did learn to strum the guitar and play chords with his toes, Tony even learnt to sing. Watch as he performs “Let It Be” while on vacation in 2007.
