Thanks..ahh..if we could only be put playing.. normally am a 2 amp 3 guitar guy..but the Mrs BFT (singer) has been hurt very bad in a dui hit & run. She has a serious brain injury & maybe get 1 hr of sorta being OK each day. We are blessed to own a Locksmith business or our family would of went under. Sold the harley & basically the amps & guitars have been my escape last 3 years. We held shows all the time & only put original bands on the line up. We so miss the weekend being in dif city, setting up..meeting bands & delivering quality local-live music. Seems to be a dying art compared to when we used to just hold shows in the 80's & it was a wild local band scene..the gear has become a hobby cause i am stuck inside all day...geesh..all the gear is now in the house instead of the bandroon..since she fell one day..i just stay close & we all have faith she will be healed soon & get back up on stage & belt that them vocals out !!

I Am sorry for her suffering, and yours brother. I am a personal injury lawyer and deal with tragedies of this nature, which only allows me to somewhat get an idea of what your family must endure. Stay strong brother - we are all still here and must be thankful for what we have. And play the snot outta that beautiful gear!!

Such a small world.
I'm part of a Veterans benefit that we do @ Peggys each year to raise money and awareness for Manatee Veterans Village.

I live a few miles north of Peggys. Quite close actually.

You betcha! It is a small world....
Although our world here is getting some much needed rain......

@ least for the bash today we have a nice covered area to keep the gear dry....
We will have to stay in touch and make a day to grab a bite and some drinks..

Very, very sorry to hear of your wife’s situation.

Please, keep us informed and don’t be shy about airing your feelings here when necessary.

Yes. This forum has a certain insanity to it. But, that’s what helps us keep our sanity!
