I am sorry about not getting this up Sunday like I had originally said. I was thinking about my birthday which was Sunday.
So as you know from the previous blog my back is shot, and it is causing a lot of problems. It came down to I was going to need back surgery. Well last Thursday I got some bitter sweet news. I am not going to get back surgery. My bulging discs in my L spine (lower back) are not bad enough yet to need surgery, but (and this is a big one) my T4 & T6 which never healed after breaking them 2 different times years ago are inoperable due to the condition they are in. I am now am having to do physical therapy at least twice a week, and do the exercises every day at home. I am set to go see a neurologist, a pain management specialist, and a rheumatologist. This isn't stopping me though. I am still working on the new albums, and playing guitar. Though some changes have been made to guitar playing. As my long time fans know I have played Jackson Kellys for the past 15 years, and the 2 I have now well had were my babies. My 2 Jackson Kellys were put up for sale with one at the Ellisville Mozingo Music, and the other at the O'fallon Mozing Music. Sadly I am unable to play them anymore. Jackson Kellys are one of the heaviest electric guitars made, and with how my back has become I couldn't play one for more then 15 minutes without being in severe pain, and then hurting badly the rest of the day. After they sell I will begin the search for the new weapon in my arsenal that will be replacing them. Until then everything will be played, wrote, and recorded on my custom Flamenco guitar. So don't worry the music is still going to keep coming, and the guitar playing is still going to continue. Don't worry I'll never stop making music, and the only way they'll ever get me to stop playing a guitar is if they pry it from my cold dead hands. So the music is still flowing on, and Electro Wedding will debuting Jan 31st!
Always remember "Never give in, never give up."
