Not MINE!
My nephew. I taught him his first 3 chords, maybe 40 years back.
He's around 55, and built along the lines of Popeye's acquaintance, Bluto.
Anyway, in a workplace accident, he got the last joint of his ring finger (left hand) cut off.
They couldn't re-attach it.
He's a superb guitarist, and a pretty good lyric writer.
Since many of you have had injured fingers, I told him that I'd find out how long it took you to toughen up the ends, when the tips went missing,
and how you eventually managed to start making chord.s again.
And yes, he's seen videos of Barry Abernathy.
