Necessity is the mother of detention
And I am in hand detention. The show must go on? Last night I played at The Old Fire Hall in Rossland BC and I was somehow able to eke out 90 minutes on stage. It was mostly stories and then songs. I felt like I was starting over trying to fit a glass slide on my pointer finger and play the guitar in open tunings flat on my lap. It wasn't pretty but I made it through the night. At one point I had my friend Mark Pollard come up and play the chords with his left hand while I finger picked.
I have a lot to learn in the next 8 weeks of healing time. Shiza Minelli this sucks royally but what else am I going to do? Cancel shows? One time my friend Frag told me saw me play a show for 2 hours and I only did about 6 songs. But I wasn't forced into that. This time is different. So I'll do my best to weather my detention and then I'll be back with a vengeance like Chuck Norris.
Detentionally yours,
Steve

I think it was 9 songs, but whatever. I'll see you in a couple of weeks, Handy!
Whoa...nelly. Shiza Minelli is right!
These shows will be ones for the record books!
Just don't bugger your hand any further by trying to play too soon. Dr Meg.
It's M-I-Double N,
then-E-Double L-I,
You double up the N, thats nn, not ll
Then E, double the L, end it with an I,
That's the way you say Minnelli...
Liza Minnelli..
It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S
Goes "sss" not "zzz"
It's Z instead of S
Li instead of Lee
It's simple as can be
See, Liza!
I'll do it again...
Awwww deary doooo! And I thought I felt bad after bring made redundant! At least all my bits work!
Stay strong you crazy fool. The universe will take care of you.
That's so rock. Yeah it is.

Hey Steve, Remember when you used to play guitar?
that was mean. I love you and hope you feel better soon. xoxo
I think its awesome you have to get all extra super creative now to keep the bus moving...
Plus, its the left hand... be happy that all you have guys doing for you is playing chords.
Even if you couldnt play, sing, or do anything... Id still pay to watch you just sit there and look pretty.
just can't keep a good man down 8^)

for you...
Even when the flesh lays heavy upon your bones,
your spirit can still soar free - jmf...
