Music Music Music – Happy Thanksgiving Message – 2013-11-27
Well, it’s been a while since I had a gig I could list here. Sadly I still can’t handle playing guitar through an entire gig. Luckily my first instrument is Mandolin and I can tolerate sitting in with friends and some gigs on Mandolin. My back is up & down, good days & bad days. Sadly a couple docs have said basically the same thing. Wait and let it heal. It could take 6 months to a couple years. The wait is tough, but I MUST keep a positive attitude, and thankfully I am.
Things could definitely be worse!! That’s just the beginning of things I have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I have friends who care! I know several people who are in worse shape than me and with my extra time I can do things to help them or at least lend support. I can’t necessarily do much, but little things mean a lot!!!
I also have a wonderful wife who has stood by me and helped me through this and been very supportive and understanding! I’m so thankful for her!! I’m also thankful to my musician friends, especially Roger Bellow & Bob Tobin!! Roger is like a brother to me and has been by and called numerous times throughout this. Bob has repeatedly managed to chauffeur me off to sit in with friends so I could get a music fix. Lord knows music is keeping me sane!!! There are other friends and family who have been very supportive. Folks have helped cover gigs for me, and given great encouragement.
I want to thank all of you for all your support over the years! I know that sometime soon I will be back out playing regular gigs and seeing all the folks who have allowed me to share my music over the years. That’s a great blessing!! In the meantime I’ll get out as I can (again thanks to Bob T for driving!!) and at least sit in with friends making great music.
Still haven’t been on Facebook much, sitting at the computer is still tough for any length of time. Feel free to email or call. I always love hearing from folks!! If you want a quickie message when I’m headed out to sit in with someone, let me know. Otherwise I’ll send periodic updates until I’m back gigging again normally.
I hope for you the warmest of times this Thanksgiving! As we all take a moment to remember what we’re thankful for, I for one am thankful for all of you! Be safe whether you’re traveling or home. I hope to see you sometime soon!!!
