Not sure why, but all this week I’ve fallen asleep on the couch with the guitar at my feet!

Playing guitar keeps me sane. The heavier the stress the more simply I play. Not practicing or learning anything new. Just gentle finger picking a I, IV, V chord progression and getting lost in the sound and tonal qualities of the instrument. Like sitting next to a mountain stream and just listening to the rushing water and the world around you. Set the events of the day aside and get lost in your guitar for a bit.

The closest hotel room we could find was in Atlanta...a 17 hour drive with about 3 million of my fellow Floridians. While watching the approach of Irma to our town and expecting to lose everything we had built over 22 years in our home.......My guitars were always in my hands....along with the 2 cases of wine we also loaded in the jeep. While playing all the blues tunes I knew....I watched the eyewall fall apart and the storm come ashore just south of our house. We suffered some damage but very little compared to others. I had to change strings when I got home.....Yea, playing the guitar relieves stress

Usually guitar for me is a stress reliever and gives me something constructive and uncomplicated to focus on. I have found that two or three times there’s been a work or home issue that’s been too distracting for me to focus at all on guitar. In those rare cases I’ve de-prioritized guitar and practice until I’ve dealt with the other issues.

For many, many years I played for my own enjoyment and relaxation; and for the life of me I cannot remember just why I set my guitar aside and let it languish in storage for over 20 years.
In the last few years, every single one of my family members has passed away, I recently lost absolutely everything that wasn't in storage, spent some time homeless, and finally, just after I found work and a room to rent, my cat Pippin suddenly died. He'd been with me through everything. I promptly had a major heart attack, and it left me with a blood clot in my ventrical that may or may not take me out without notice. I promptly dug out my guitar, fixed it's ailments (to the best of my ability), and began playing again. I even contracted to buy a Martin D-15 as soon as my income tax return happens. I'm pretty sure that playing again is going to save my life and get me through this. I cannot believe I waited this long. Yes....my guitar is the BEST therapy....totally unequalled. Michael
