          Samuel Foote - an 18th Century actor and theatre manager, who had a leg amputated after a riding accident.

            No, you've got off on the wrong Foote. Mine was probably a composer, certainly an arranger.

                  How very interesting, but my Foote is nearer the other end of the alphabet (and sadly not on the Wiki list of composers with an F)

                                Are we talking elbows here (which, I confess, I am having difficulty distinguishing from other parts of my anatomy at the moment).
