Back Pain

This is not a dish. Back pain gives you good days and bad days and may I
remind you that the show was delayed because of Jimmy's health. And there
are days you block the pain but your body does not work right. I have no
doubt that things like H have lifelong affects on the body.
Twice a show I wanted to go to was canceled or postponed.
Yet I think 1975 tour started in chicago and he hurt a finger in a Train?
door? He still played then and I seem to remember that bottleneck on his
finger here in Mpls. Was that 75 or 77? the 70s are a haze of?

It is widely known that Jimmy has had frail health. I feel his pain. And
Id say Ozzy has MS but his health is kept private.
A double neck is really heavy and he is not a big heavy guy. But I would not
want him to do what Steve Howe did and put the guitar on a stand. :(
Live with sciatica and lumbar pain for 30 yrs daily and you will know what
I mean. I see the TV stings of people with back pain caught doing things
that one would think they can not do. each ilio-lumbar-disk injury is different.
And one gets a high tolerance from pain but some days you just dont want to
get up, then things like diabetes hit a person that destroy the nervous
system. But BB King still trys to be active and play. And its not like he
needs the money but a love for performing and expression in music.
