Dear Friends of MULE/ABB/TTB... I just got my ASS kicked by a famale Famuley member..in a good way. I am humbled by a response from somebody I met ONCE and didnt really know who she was until now.(I had my thoughts and I was correct). ALL I can say is this: SO many have asked where did MT go? or why does MT not post 1-5 shows a week anymore. or why are you not recording anymore? Ok.. At one time I did TOURS. and I did many of them. 5 years ago I had a work accident that had left me slightly permanently debilitated. in my one injury, there is 11+ injuries that make up the one. Im not asking for pity,or get wells or ANYTHING...... I now live a new life and had to distance myself from the famuley. NO, I usualy dont post my personal info but I feel some are owed a true explanation. SO, I tried to hide,until I learned theres no place to run too anymore..... BINGO~ Epiphany was found! How and why? good question, most ask. Im not going to name call or bash anybody because somethings are better left unsaid until you see the person eye to eye. With that being said my name had gotten dragged thru the mud,I felt out of place within the family, I was hurting and would not tell a soul. During this my wife gave up on me as I spent 23 years fighting for her health and forgetting about mine as she did also... I went into MUSICAL depression for many months I didnt even listen to 1 note! The Dr;s still have not all the answers and I am now REHABBING myself....( I cant wait on INS. COs to help) they have done nothing but make me worse waiting 3-4 months for a dr visit approval. Im not the only famuley member like this I know a few... and worse cases then me... ( I commend them all on their journeys). SO yes Im still on the MEND ,and i do not see 150-200 shows year ANYMORE. in the past 5 years i cant count my shows on fingers and half my toes. I miss being out on that road recording and sharing the music.. my whole life has revolved around this music since i was 11. I dont think I will even get to see 1 last ABB show!!! after seeing more the 55+ thru the years and recording most of them. I miss my MULE family of friends and I wish more of you would touch base as Im trying to get back out once again. So please, if youve crossed my life path or would like too, please keep in touch, I do miss you all a lot. On a good note: I went on a health kick because i had too. Im allergic to pain meds and have done this without ANY!!(and blessed with a strong mindset to ease my pain) I lost 130lbs.. Im trying to exercise as much as i can do with my injurys since rehab still has not been offered yet,so im doing that ALL on my own. Im doing the best I can ALL with a positive attitude and turning it ALL around myself.ALL seems to be coming around again and SO AM I!! For those of you who have inquired..THANK YOU ALL*** If you have any question PM me.. I will fill you all in.. I just wanted to write this to let everyne know yes,Im alive,well,growing and living my new lease on life. yes life might be different and in many ways so am I. but BETTER then ever. I have a few people I would like to thank... My famuley that has kept in touch and backed me thru the rough times,picked me back up when I was my lowest point and thanked me for all I have done for others ( even you guys who thanked me despite my problems who knew) In closing I will say this... if it was not for the fact of the musical friends and the hundreds of you all who have come thru my life and for the music that was shared,played,I dont know where I would be today,period. Im hoping I can make 1 last ABB show somehow before its just a memory I never got to put an end too. If it was not for the GD,ABB,MULE,NRPS familys I would not be who I am today or would not know where Im going tomorrow... now thats all changed again little by little I am getting back out...(Sometimes only because famuley made it happen). but I WILL** ride that Rocking-horse again step..by..step... A special thanks to HH and Warren Haynes.(thank you for words) a BIg shout ot to the Trucks family. and a HUGE *SHOUT* to the Govt Mule famuley!! and a bigger shout outto all you who have followed me and my journey... may the road go on forever.... and may we all meet once again at the crossroads. Just know, there will be a MULETAPER REDEMPTION tour. someday... Im well overdue, and its on the horizons if I can make it fall into place... Hope to see you all again soon and this is where i have been. Im NOT hiding,nor am I ignoring anyone... so thats the scoop.... just remember... please......keep.. #LIVINRIGHT!!
