Zoom Gear & Home Recording Forum

I have been away from this great site for almost a year now. First, I was very, very busy with work and did not have the time and then I had an unfortunate accident at work and dislocated my shoulder. I have been unable to play guitar for a few months now due to rotator cuff damage.
I have a ton of lyrical and musical idea's floating around in the old noggin but will have to wait until I am capable of playing again to express them. I will spend time listening to and offering my opinion of the many great songs by the great artists in the new songs section.
I'm glad to be back.

Hey Gary,
Welcome back and Happy New Year.

Cheers

Pete

Same from here. Sorry to hear of your troubles. May you recover quickly.

John B.

Oh yeah, I thought there was another Gary. Hope you get back into playing shape soon.

Welcome back dude!....sideshow bob

We don't know each other yet but time will make its work!
Glad to hear "You're a Back"
Have a great 2012 year with us!

Welcome back mate, I hope you can play again soon, must be very frustrating.

I am out of commission too right now due to death in my family. I'll come back and listen to new songs, etc., in a week or so. I had a free moment today to post this.

(It is odd how I felt I had to report to friends I've never seen or physically been in the same space with, but I consider you fellow Zoomers as much of friends as many that live right down the street from me.)

Sorry to read this Sean.

Welcome back Gary.

And my condolences Sean.

Dick

Thanks everyone.

Bad week in Baltimore. My father died last Sunday and my Mom is in the hospital in serious conditon today, although we are hoping for the best. I'll be back but I can't say when.

Sorry for your loss Cracks. Big hugs.

My prayers go to your mother Sean.

Thanks everyone. My Mother is still very ill but the hospital says they expect her to recover so I am hanging my hat on that.

I haven't picked up my guitar in over a week. First time that has happened in years.

I will hit the new song board as soon as I can focus.

Great to hear from you again, Gary. You have an interesting backlog of tunes to check out here , and it'd be cool to hear your stuff again.

Sean, I sent a PM.

I am sad to report that my Mother passed away yesterday afternoon.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it.

I am not sure when I'll be back to the recording game. It most likely won't be any time soon I would say.

Thanks again.

My sincerest sympathy, John. We are brothers in this situation.

We do not need the wisdom of philosophers or books to tell us that we cannot go home again, that nothing will ever be the same after losing a parent. Mom or Dad will not be there to applaud our adult accomplishments or offer direction at critical crossroads, to worry about us when we are ill, or telephone "just to say hello." The dynamics and the history of our family are irrevocably changed. So are we.

We now move to center stage to leave our mark on the world. But we do not move forward alone. We bring along with us a rich store of treasures from our childhood and adulthood- hard-learned lessons and principles, fond and painful memories, family celebrations and traditions. We bring who we are, thanks to the love, nurturing, and guidance we received in our formative years from the parent(s) whose presence we now miss.

Our life has not lost its meaning; indeed, it has taken on new meaning as we bury part of our past and write a new chapter in our lives. And, believing in God’s promise of a life hereafter, we can look forward to a heavenly family reunion.
