In this series called "Playing Hands" Cindi depicts her favorite blues musicians at their best. This is only the second in her series there will be more to come stay tuned. "I always pay attention to the guitarist hands as they glide across the fretboard. Especially since I cannot use my hands I appreciate the gift and talent that they've been given and enjoy watching them use that gift"
