#AMonthOfSongs Day 10: Clayton “Peg Leg” Bates felt like he was #DancingOnMyOwn when he had an unfortunate accident that forever changed Clayton‘s life, but not his disposition, nor his optimistic self. He taught himself to use crutches that were fashioned from two broomsticks when he lost his leg. Soon, he was able to dance again. A remarkable and inspiring story.
