What bluesman had six fingers on his left hand and six on his right as well? That is freaky :shock: Think of the extra possibilities!

Guitar Player Magazine ran the same photo a log time ago. I read somewhere that six fingers ran in Hound Dog Taylor's family as well as extra nipples. Anyway, what an incredibly raw player he was.

The extra one looks useless ...but if it makes the original pinky act like an extra third finger, now that would be something!

He also had 5 johnsons. It didn't help his guitar playing, but his pants fit like a glove! :shock:

I knew he was a great blues player but haven't heard much about him but that is beyond freaky! 8) Imagine showing people that :lol: that would be a real head turner at parties and gatherings :lol:

if i had extra nipples i would donate them to charity.
if i had 5 johnsons i'd be making movies in california.
if i had an extra pinky i'd pick my nose with it.

i want an extra brain. the one i have is okay but sometimes (today) it just refuses to work. it would be nice to have a back-up.

I see Hound Dog Taylor as the precursor to all the modern raw fuzzy ripping bluesy players like Jack White and Dan Auerbach...

I love Hound Dog..."Baby Don't Blame Me" and "She's Gone" are two of my favorite tunes ever...

I agree SA, i love that style, hard hitting and just great. I love Jack White's playing too.
