Hi Jerry, thank you for publishing my piece! As far as playing in a wheelchair, it’s not ideal. My band actually practices in the bass players basement. They haul me down 7 or 8 stairs in my chair, then back up when we’re done. Talk about above and beyond. But at a gig, it’s always kind of frustrating. We usually put me in a spot, then set up everything else around me, so I’m usually stuck for the duration.. it’s not as spontaneous as it used to be(what is?) but I have a great support system between the guys, my wife, and my two sons. They all know how much it means to me to keep it going, but at some point I’ll probably hang it up, but for now I’ll keep it going. That’s why when I read about single people, on their own, I count my blessings…

Thanks for sharing it! We look forward to you sharing more.

It’s great that your band is so helpful and understanding and that you have such a wonderful support system. Keep playing as long as you can my friend!
