My dad worked in maintaince for William Cameron Co in Waco, TX and removed Billy Joes fingers from the door planer he was operating. He is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in country music history. And we love him dearly...

Shaver took a job at a lumber mill to make ends meet. One day his right hand (his dominant hand) became caught in the machinery, and he lost the better part of two fingers and contracted a serious infection. He eventually recovered, and taught himself to play the guitar without those missing fingers.[2]

Nick, Jason and Jeremy Woodall get my vote for best supporting musicians of 2008. Thanks for keeping the wheels rollin so Billy can "tell-it"!  jakedouglas

re: his left arm- at one of his concerts he said while in Europe he tried to lift a woman who had a little more girth under her skirt than showed and he tore a tendon (or ligament) that had to be re-attached.

Wow. BJS sounds great. Wonder what happened with his left arm?
