I'm a leftie too, Jan - it's really interesting to notice how the body remembers, rather than the mind. Rhythms that I learnt early on continue to be easier to play and teach left-handed - those that I've learnt since I've been teaching, so that I've had to be able to lead with the right as well - they can come from either hand. Sod the mind, this stuff is physical

I have MS, and am very lucky with it - I'm sure that the exercise my head gets (neural pathways) in playing both left and right-handed must be in there somewhere!
