'm writing this for the other fellow brothers and sisters going through this too. Not just me and my block .

I'm going to make this real short yet powerful as it should be. I survived. I am Alive as are my family and my best friend my dog, Celestion, C'dog. The main point here is that I lost stuff. Not me or my life. Yes it hurts , however, this is necessary to move forward. I have to hurt and process it and run on to the next thing. Thats what I am doing and my feet are moving forward. Take this lesson folks. Take the worst hit you can imagine and what are you going to do with it ? Crouch over in denial, NO, your going to stand up and walk on. Not walk away, walk on to the next thing. There is no reason I cannot find other guitars or amps and stuff. That stuff did not survive, but I DID ! And for the rest of my life, the one saved by the one, will reflect my apprecation for my fellow man and woman , left and right and ahead and behind, you are the reason. Thanks everybody, lets rock on, together, forever.

Alot of people lost stuff too, lets not get hung up on it, we are going to lift them up and out of the hurt, its what we do here in America. Hang tight, were comin', your going to be fine. In this next chapter, thats what it is, the next chapter. This one abruptly ended and it hurts for now. Amen

Sorry for your loss. It's great to read your positive words! All the best for the future.
 
Thank You for those who were brave enough to chime in and offer positive support. The truth is that its not easy to jump in here and write anything. Its terrifying. I know, from many different angles. I started as a young kid with some hard earned skills to play in bands. Hard earned. Not easy. Then as things progressed life was compared against stage fright. How scared I was to perform live against all other threats. Nothing was more scary than performing for people live. I would be better suited to take live fire or rounds and bleed out. That was my litmus test.

Over time, I, like many amassed scars. Scars of life. Big time events that may even end your life. Those events put me in check and often defined my existence. I survived stuff. As many do. The life changing events take everything, they leave you with you. What you are. Who you are. Are you a positive contribution to society ? Then you know, looking in the mirror society needs you. Are you a part of the solution ? Then you know , in your bones, your not dead yet. Your person has work to do. Music to make and people to get up dancing. Thats the truth from my perspective. My family needs me, the music wants me to continue to get my fellow brothers and sisters up and dancing. Done deal. Chime in folks. Don't hold back because we are all living this together. TOGETHER, thats the caveat, we are one. Damn Profound eh ? Ha ha, long way to go, together we got this deal !
 
Can I do anything to help you bro? If I can I will….
 
Love the spirit man!!
Not going to pretend to understand what it’s like. Just wish you and yours the best through this.
