Riding a Bike is harder than playing a PSG. Get well soon and get you some bike riding lessons. Image Just kidding of course...I will remember you in my prayers.

When you get back to your guitar don't worry about whether you will remember how to pick. it'll be just like riding....uh, never mind.


Sorry to hear this. Hope you get past it real quick.

Mike,
Get well and get back to steelin', this time the kind that has pedals.

I work outside in the dirt every day and know all about injuries.

Last Fall I steped into a hole in a lawn and my weak ankle gave out, did a complete flip and landed on my back, pulled ligaments and whatever else, and it's just about feelin' normal again. I feel for you.

Regards, Craig

Ouch! Hope you have a speedy and hassle-free recovery Mike.

PS, just 'cause you don't have to wear glasses anymore doesn't mean you shouldn't look where you're going! Image

Hey Mike,
I hope you make a speedy recovery so you can get back to your music, computers and the Steel Forum. I've been working on "Tonight," and I'll get you a recording shortly. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey Mike,
I just logged on the computer at work today and saw the post about the accident. I hope you get to feeling better and everything ol 'bud. I think I'd sue the doctor who did your surgery where you didn't have to wear glasses anymore! You might have a case........Hang in there, Jerry

As a fellow cyclist, I feel your pain. Get well soon, and then "get right back on the horse", except maybe a hockey mask might be an appropriate addition to your safety gear :-)
