After 25 years of on the road and playing with one band or another it has come for me to step down from being a musician. My hands can't take it anymore and it is time to give them a break. With all that has been going on in my life I have looked for a (REAL JOB)   and started over with it. The music industry is not doing so well and things are changing. I may not be around as much as I would like because of the adjustment. But on another note I will be in from time to time. I work from 4:30 to 1:30 at night programming CNC machining equipment. With some gone from our little place, people don't know the impact of leaving and not saying why. Leaving others to really worry. We tend to get close to one another is why this place has always a special meaning. On weekends I am free to do what I would like and that is seeing my favorite place.     
Just thought you all would want to know.

I'm sorry to know that you've to stop with your band, but I'm happy that you've a new job !!

Don't worry about the time you can spend here: This is a place for fun and relax so it's normal to come here when one have enough free time, for example in the weekend. In the last months for a reason or another I was very busy with other things, one week the house, another week the car to fix, my mom etc. and I don't succeed to do what I want, but I've to go to work in order to eat (and spend money for my useless things   ). Honestly   I've to say that the big work on the site or with my picture has been done in periods when I was home injuried or faking illness   .

(The next "fake illness week" is coming soon   )

So don't worry Kenny, we'll wait for you in the weekend and I hope that you enjoy your new job   !

I am also sorry about the end of your band! But good luck in you new job Kenny!  

It sounds like you have reached a nexus in your life.  Congradulations on your new job and sorry to hear about your band.  We will save a place at the party tables.  Stop in whenever you are in the mood and have the time.

It makes me feel sorry to hear, that you don't go on with music on stage
and instead have to do a fulltime job.
I hope, you have enough luck with this job and I hope, you don't get
depressions while missing the old life.

... just keep on rockin´ (don´t matter, wich way)
meet you at weekends

Thanks everyone and Ahjah I new I could count on you as a musician to come out with a good feeling about it all.

This last monday I just had an accident at work. I ripped the muscles out of my right arm. It might need surgery. I havn't been able to use it much and it keeps ripping the arm and if it dosen't get better soon the doctor said it might need to be operated on.   Thats life huh folks.

Damnit Kenny! How could it happen ?

This should teach you:
us musicians are not made for "normal" work

But seriously, I hope there´ll be nothing left and you can use your arm again, soon

I am sorry to hear this.  I hope it will be all better soon.

Pangor

There is no need to apologize. I will play it on your soundcard.

Kenny I'm sorry to hear of your arm and I hope it's better very soon and no surgery required!
I'm also sorry to hear about your band, I totally understand about the reason why (your hands) because I worry about how much longer I can go on doing artwork and stuff on the computer due to my hand/arm issues. It's a scary thing, but you will get past it all and I'm sure music will always be in your life in one form or another

Take care buddy

Wow sorry to hear about all the stuff that has been happening to you Kenny.  I bet you must be feeling really p'd off at the moment.  Things are bound to get better though...and hopefully your arm will heal quickly and you will be right as rain.  I will be praying for you so keep your chin up and just use your good arm to raise a few beers.....

take care

Thanks. You too, messenger.
