Dear Musician - Do We Take Music for Granted? in Misc Posted August 20, 2019 As i have been playing professionally for 42 years I have always said a day with a guitar around my neck is a good day indeed. A recent event a couple months ago has showed me that taking my craft for granted will certainly NEVER happen while i am alive. i had an accident with my chop saw and broke into multiple pieces my fretting hand index fingertip as well as some soft tissue injury. could not play for 3 weeks, used the other fingers for the next few weeks and each week been incorporating the index back in bit by bit. While still not 100%, what could have been career ending seems to have a happy ending in sight with hopefully no long term disability. There were many physical, vocational, and spiritual challenges but I am greatful for how things are turning out. I could not IMAGINE my life without the expression of music in it, and to take that for granted??? NEVER!!!!
