    This man had the most incredibly HUGE hands! For you, Andrew, and for anyone reading this who knows musical notation, visualise this - or try it out! (in ascending order of piano keyboard):-

    Left hand:-
    C 5th finger
    Eb 4th
    G 3rd
    C 2nd
    G thumb

    Right hand:-
    C 2nd finger
    E thumb
    G 3rd
    C 4th
    E 5th

    For anyone who can follow this it will surely bring tears to their eyes!
