Hi guys!! Sorry I’ve not been around to post much, a string of bad luck has led me to a severely broken clavicle requiring surgery.

it’s a long story, I won’t bore you with the details, but it’s my strumming shoulder so I’m going to have to live vicariously through you all for a few months.

waiting on surgery to be scheduled - hoping early next week. Anyways, I’m sure y’all didn’t notice, but heck, you’re all good people and I didn’t just want to drop off the face of the forum 😃

hope you’re all faring better than I am - no pressure to post for my entertainment 😆

So sorry about your injury. I hope the surgery will be a grand success and you'll soon be good as new. Wishing you the best.

Aarfy so sorry to hear, all I can say is: if you want to keep playing, do your rehab therapy. That D40 need proper upbringing. ;)

Entertainment? Did somebody say entertainment?





That oughta kill an hour or two. :D

Oh no! I'm sure I can come up with something stupid to do, say, or buy. Let me think on that a bit. :)

Thoughts and prayers with you during your strumming Collarbone rehab. A painful injury for sure. Keep us posted on your recovery and hoping the folks on LTG make this journey have a few positives.

Take care and get better soon! A previously broken collarbone is one of the reasons I had to go to my current small bodied F-30 and avoid dread size guitars. But I never had surgery, probably should have.

Well that just doesn’t sound like much fun at all. Hang in there Aarfy. You’ll be back in the game again.

Thanks all!

surgery postponed until Thursday- more than 2 weeks after the break. The pain is horrible and I’m fast running out of pain killers. Play a little for me this weekend pls!

Ugh…. Surgery postponed until Thursday. My Guilds are looking at me like puppies who are trying to convince with half moon eyes they deserve a second breakfast.

I’m back guys. A little attempted house robbery hurt my recovery somewhat (long story - if ever a film is make about my summer of s*** please have Billy Bob Thornton play me), but I can strum (lightly, for short periods) again! AAAAHHHHH. It feels good. I hope you are all well. Thank you for the well wishes, and the advice of music to be my anchor.

It may not be the most cheery music, and certainly not for everyone, but I’ve been enjoying Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson again lately - even though the albums are 10+ years old. Now I just need to figure out what’s up with my record player so I can spin some LPs again, rather than relying on Bluetooth.

I’m back, baby!
