by MYERS, Ray R.
[Self-Published, circa 1948], 1948. First Edition. This is the second [Book No. 2] autobiography released by Myers. Signed by Myers inside the front cover. [See scan: the flamboyant signature at the top of the page is that of Myers, the others seem to be people trying to sign his name with their own feet, or Myers having a "really" bad day]. A scarce pamphlet, especially signed. Ray R. Myers, also known as "The Armless Musician," was born with no arms in 1911 on a small farm near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Myers' parents were approached by a circus wanting to employ young Ray when he was just three years old. His parents declined the offer, choosing for their son to enjoy a normal childhood-as normal as possible. Myers grew up learning to be self-sufficient and learned to play guitar masterfully with his feet. He was adept at practically everything using his feet and even getting a driver's license. 8vo., printed orange wraps; 12 pages. Illustrated With Photographs. PIctures And Story Of Ray Myers, His Family And Many Of His Friends Who Are Radio Stars.. Good (some wear & soil covers; contents clean & tight with an occasional small chip or tear). Scarce!
