If I remember well I think he only had two hands, do not recall seing the
third one, But he did feel something and manage to tune a couple of notes to

on the piano I was tuning, and for obvious resons I did not have a long
conversation with him. Cannot tell you more

Elian

I did remember, I met him at Hotel Lido in Caracas,
