    Condolences. Been there. Getting back into the music is a good and healing idea.

    Your routine is much better than mine (comparative thinking allowed in this instance). I do massage my hand and assure my guitar is tuned but that is about it. I like your idea and will think through that time.

    When I was a lad I had to hoe sugar beets on our farm. When you look at a half mile square (160 acres) of rows 18” apart and half mile long. At 13 years old it seems like an insurmountable task. But you just do it one weed and one step at time. @Loraine you have a “long row to hoe”, but you seem to understand what it takes. 3 weeks out of surgery and you have music in your heart. Bless you heart (in a nice way).

    I think I played and sang this song better before I started trying to get percussive with it but I like the effect so much I keep trying to make it natural. Thanks for your tips.

    My boys and I used to get a real kick out of this song when this one guy would always play this at the church service on Chapel Hill at the Kerrville Folk Festival each year. He was over the top in dramatic presentation and their middle school minds just couldn’t hear it without imitating him. Your presentation however was quite good.

    The turtle wins the race. Just hunker down and keep walking. Tony always suggests a backup plan when life gets in the way. Now you have an opportunity to devise or practice your backup plan. Feel the defeat but don’t be defeated. After all the guitar is for fun. So pick it up and start having fun like it is a new start. Each day is.

    That’s weird. I don’t remember that. But I’d move on to next day.

    Yes, that can be normal. In the skills courses Tony has a stretch course that has helped me get and stay more flexible. It also helped me realize the symptoms when I start over doing my practice with tension. I think @jumpinjeff is a big proponent of tension free playing. Let’s see if he chimes in. Welcome to TAC.
