Farmer Makes Music With Hands (1933)

Farmer Makes Music With Hands (1933) - video link

Farmer Cecil Dill, of Traverse City, Michigan, an aspiring radio artist, demostrates his ability to render popular melodies by pressing his hands together, creating a juvenile sound. Dill modestly tells how he discovered his amazing talent.

If you enjoyed that fine performance by Cecil Dill, the first manualist, you might also like the following act. Join Bruce Gaston, AKA Mr. Handman, and Ken Purcell in their version of this time-honored song.
