I simply want to know if anyone on music banter knows of any people who play like this or do so themselves and offer me some of their experience.

Lefties can be divided into three classes:
Those who play left handed with thier guitars strung regular (with heavy gauge strings on top) those who play left-handed guitars but strung right handed or upsided down, and those who are left-handed but choose to play right-handed, the plus side to the last two is that you have more choices when it comes to looking for guitars. Electric guitars are much easier to convert to left handed the acoustics.
Whatever you choose to do, my suggest is doing finger exercises first to get used to it, it will everntually come natural to you after practicing a lot no matter what set-up you choose.
List of musicians who play left handed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My favorite "up-side" players are Albert King, D!ck Dale and Elizabeth Cotten.
