I ended up with a pinched nerve a couple of years ago and couldn't walk for a long time--lost the feeling in my leg. Totally sucked. My girlfriend left me at almost my lowest point too, even after casually agreeing to marry six months earlier (not officially though).
I was living in NYC and my building porter and I started jamming to cheer me up. He had no musical training but just played from his heart. He also started doing push-ups and exercising with me in my apartment in-between recording, which helped a lot with my health. After 11 months the building supervisor got pissed and put an end to it--came to my door screaming at us. Good times haha.
After jamming for so long we had a good collection of music and I decided to assemble it into a full album, particularly a rock opera, telling the story of us making the album.
We plan to release it this year, but I've been sharing some of the nearly completed songs with friends and family. This is the last song on the album:

My building porter Alfred (what a name huh?) is now a friend for life.
- _glass 6y agoI love the story (hope all is fine now) and the song is great, especially the bass so much in the foreground, gives it a very special vibe.
- macrowhat 6y agoThanks. I'm better but far from healthy. Doctors are pretty much useless. I bought a PRS Kingfisher and learned to slap from Davie504 :)
- ricc 6y agoHow's the sound and build quality of the Kingfisher? I really dig its looks but I'm not sure about it primarily because PRS is mainly a guitar maker.
