Hey Don,

My wife tells me that my last post came across insensitive(ly?). I just got too wordy -- all I meant was that so much of what we learn on guitar is mental --- and I was sorta thinking out loud if more of that than we think wouldn't still be usable.

My wife says she understands that when things get mangled -- maybe the same connections between mind and muscle aren't there. Anyway, I didn't mean to sound insensitive. Your friend is going through my worst nightmanre.

The other reason I'm posting is that I have a freind who is a good potter and also a terrific guitar player.   A few years back he went through the same thing and is now about 4-5 years down the road from the accident and progressing very well musically.

I've asked his permission to put you in email contact with him. If he gives me the OK I'll PM you as soon as I know.

John
