Toe Jam: Mark Goffeney Plays Guitar With His Feet

Based on the number of YouTube views, I'm pretty much the last person on the entire Internet to see this video. But just in case there are a few of you out there who haven't seen it yet (and because I really wanted to use “toe jam” in a post title) I had to share it here.

Mark Goffeney is an inspirational and dedicated musician who, despite being born without arms, makes a living playing bass and guitar — with his feet. And he doesn't just play, he plays well.

thats fucking insane, hes even doin fuckin palm mutes, but on his fucking foot. insane.

Mark's not just a busker either. He's the lead singer and bass player for his band Big Toe and has even performed in an an Emmy-nominated TV commercial. He's also a licensed driver, in case you were wondering.

As you can see in the YouTube comment thread, the jokes about Mark practically write themselves, but I think at the end of the day the guy making a living doing what he loves is almost certainly the one getting the last laugh. Props Mark.

Thanks to dhyrenz for posting this amazing video.
