Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Just wanted to say "Hi" to all my ole bandmix friends. I stopped posting for months due to the fact I almost lost my right arm and left fingers in a nasty Motorcycle accident which took months to heal and get my ass back on the axe! I'm also going through a divorce and am in the midst of finding an apartment so I can hook the electrics up again! Sold 2 guitars because I never thought I could play again.......BIG MISTAKE! Don't worry....I already acquired a bassist and singer and should be playing out again soon when we find the perfect vocalist. I'm going to audition Edie Falco's(Soprano's) brother in a few weeks as he claims to be able to handle our set list. We'll see.... I'm not just gonna hire him because his family members are well known although it would bring more peeps in just out of curiosity of seeing him and believing that I can play just as well as before.

Lost my job due to accident and am trying my hardest to get one to no avail so I hired lawyers to start working on disability as I've got other physical and mental (yes mental.. severe depression) disabilities and am constantly o meds for both. Besides that, the ass who hit me lost the case and I'm due for a decent settlement so between unemployment, maybe disability and my settlement, I can survive all the crazy sh¡t that was thrown at me since last year!

I will be posting again as music has saved my soul and has kept my mind off of all the negativity. Couching it at my sisters' until August so can only exercise the hell out of my digits on the acoustic which is really working out well. Can't wait to get the hell back into the clubs again where I belong instead of all these hospitals and Drs. offices! lol

Talk tooya all soon and hope you're all moving ahead in your lives and in your music!

Thats great to hear Kerry!

Keep On Rockin Man!

So glad to hear from ya! Dang you have been to hell and back sorry to hear that! Your a fighter you'll be back stronger than EVER! Music saved me thru 2 divorces! Like SRV said his FIRST girlfriend is his guitar! She doesn't talk back to you (except when YOU want) and she is always there for you! Hang in there you can't appeciate the light until you have been thru the darkness! You'll pop out on the otherside and happiness will come your way again!

Thanx, I'm ready to wail my ass off with a healed arm, unbroken digits and a clearer head!

Sounds like you've been through hell and have made it back. That's some inspirational stuff Crip... good luck on the road ahead the past is left behind.

Thanks

Good to hear, music got me through my divorce.

....and it truly does. It takes up sooo much of my time....

Man, you've been through so much, it's wonderful you'll be able to perform again. Looking forward to seeing pics and vids of you shredding in front of a packed house.

I'm glad, really...I figured you'd bounce back but had no idea you'd get hit by those other things (divorce, job etc).

It's an inspiration to me to see you get this done. I'm learning how transitory marriage can be but the music is always there.

Just out of curiosity - what guitar are you using now? I remember you as a Les Paul guy.

Talbot

Right now, American Fender Stratocaster and a Schecter Damien.

Hang in there Kerry ..

ditto what everybody said... It great that you have recovered and come so far... Keep on keepin on

Yep ... still praying for you.

It's what I do.

Thanks...just treated myself to a new guitar....what the hell....I already got the band together so I may as well replace what I sold. Rehearsals start next weekend!
