Why--Quick Explanation

Sorry to hear about this, unfortunately stuff like this happens often. I also have been hit by a drunk driver once up in the mountains and she rolled me down a steep embankment into the creek and another when I worked for the city a drunk driver hit me doing 75 in 25 head on, again another woman.
Hang in there enjoy the good things in life. This place is a great getaway...

BFT,

I’ll take a break from my usual tongue-in-cheek, pithy, off-the-wall posts to get serious for a minute.

Do not apologize for sharing your griefs and pains here. I consider it a proud testament to the members here that they are so willing to come alongside others in emotional need.

It ain’t much, I suppose. These are, in one sense, just words in an Internet forum, I guess.

But, hopefully, the expressions of support here convey a meaning much deeper than just words.

You certainly aren’t the first to expose your grief here. We’ve had members whose children have died, whose spouses have died, who have been hit with financial distress, who have struggled with alcohol...and the list goes on.

Please, know...we appreciate the trust you’ve shown in us by sharing these rough times and our best goes out to you and your wife.

very cool, i am not one to express much..never thought a gear site would be such a comfort. i am usually the answer guy..fir work..for shows..for the non profit org..sometimes its nice to have people for support....kinda was thinking about. it, .even tho we will all prob never meet..there is a pretty tight unity here..kinda like the guys ya wish you had near you to hang with..even on a personal level not just for music..also...great comic relief here..come home from work..pop on the Tone Room..always get a laugh..most of us basically making fun of ourselves...
 
This swamp thing & moving..is really working on me..last night i watched Skynyrd again & watched Marshall tucker band..i am coming up with this Strat-SG thing & using fender & Marshall amps lately..the slow transition is still my sound but its fitting nice into what prob am naturally..some kinda long haired..left lover hippie-hard working-family man who still believes in something..the hard rock tends to fit right into where i am now..that is power tube tone shape with guitars strait in & cranked..but not doing so much metal stuff..sense the song writing is opening up...its like a genre that is just free to be just who you are..not so angry all the time....or having to tap to impress or speed being what dominates..holding one note right at right time can speak volumes in a song

first thank you guys for adopting me in. Its been refreshing to see all the enthusiasm of your gear & how you use it. That is the major reason i ended up on gear sites. Some sites are full of total a-ole.type peeps. They attack you if you can challenge their opinion(like own the gear they are bashing & can post a clip.) I would like to explain whats going on with me & then try to get away from dwelling. I sound redundant at times..cause my life is hard.
Nov 1 , 2018 we got creamed by a DUI driver ..TWICE..he left the scene
Nov 2- Hospital-Wife is concussed head & neck-back injury
Nov 2 perpetrator..calls me , i left business card & gives me his State Farm Policy #
Nov-3 perpetrator switches from State farm to a cheaply Progressive policy.

We have 5 witnesses & the building maintenance man..caught him at a red light..he would not return to scene

Nov 4th-Police report comes back-100% Hit & Run accident..other party fault

J-is now stuttering.we were practiced up ready to do a mini tour this year...have web site-many dates up & down the NE Corridor & radio play lined up

We have been to the Doctor 97 times since nov 1 last year..

yesterday they had a surgery scheduled..we could not do it..NO MORE PAY from Insurance CO..its the first time it was rejected...this stinks man..my wife is hurt..by total negligence & i cant do nothing..I am going to pay for it..(what do people do if they dont have money ? i am blessed by building a lil company.but that is not the point)

Our lives are forever altered..my wife cant hold our granbabys...she cant be left alone..she falls & her neck is shot out..we are part of a non profit group that does clothing & food drives in the inner cities..this tour got big..every sat i have to watch all the load ins & show footage,,i am happy for it ..everybody used their own time & dime to work with others. I
I just want my wife better...my band back..our lives back...it takes everything i can do to not take a drive & make someone hurt that did it...he is a smart azz in a way. from my dealings with him(also owns a bentley & BMW)...i dont sleep--the studio sessions we are doing now is my sanity,,i apologize for my personal life bleeding into my posts..its not me & i gotta somehow..forge forward..thanks to those that helped..i just wanted to get it out & open ...be a guitar-bass player gear freak again...my gosh i have 8 tube heads in the MBR..its a dream come true but not under these circumstances..from here on out..we have to pay for the medical..i like this place a lot & if i turn stupid..or stupider than already..check me..i will come to my senses..thanks.

BFT , it sounds like you are good people. My wife and I have gone through some of those issue but not as severe and not DUI . I can only think that you might need to seek legal action against this guy . Not for revenge but just to try to get your life back as much as possible. My wife has been in several accidents caused by other , one hit and run. The last one we had info , the little roach quit his job , moved and shut off his phone . $3500 worth of damage to a fairly new car . It took a while but we recovered most of it . Crappy cheap insurance company he had and ours turned not to be all that great.

That is the absolute worst thing ever that can happen to anyone, you guys are dealing with a nightmare.
And I do sincerely hope all comes back around, and your lives can get back on track.
As always my brother’s positive vibes and prayers are going in your directions.
Cheers Mitch
