One of the world's best manualists, Bruce Gaston (AKA Mr. Handman) has been delighting audiences with fresh squeezed music for nearly 40 years. He also performs in the duo, "Gaston and Purcell" which features the capable accompaniment of Ken Purcell. Their CD, "Mr. Handman--Amazing Feats on Musical Hands" is believed to be the first commercially available CD totally dedicated to musical hands.

Age: 56

I have been playing hands for nearly 40 years. I have appeared on local TV, local radio, national TV (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CNN, Fox's World's Funniest Videos, MTV's "Oddville"), and national radio (NPR's "All Things Considered"). My original inspiration for playing hands was from a childhood friend, Al Manero.
