Ok. So here it is. After 5 weeks of not so much as being able to pick up mandolin or guitar. I am finally allowed to hold and play on my lap. Wow. My surgery took its toll on my abilities but I thought I would post a song just for my own encouragement . My voice is still not there yet either lol...Here it is. Long way to recover but I will get there

You moved around so much with that neck brace on I was getting nervous. lol. Playing with numb fingers is tough, I know from a pinched neck nerve that has since healed itself. Bad desk chair and poor posture. Good job and keep getting better!

I have heard that song done much worse by perfectly healthy men. Encouragement: yes, and not just your own.

Well, I thought at least you could do with some buddies to back you up on this. Excellent playing and singing, I'm just sorry my backup isn't better:

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing your healing path and music with us. Your music lifted my spirits and encouraged me to keep at it, even when things get tough.
