Finger is Fully Recovered after being smashed over one year ago...fingernail back to normal... gardening dirt under fingernail photo

Well it's been over 1 year since my fingernail was smashed (and probably broken, though I never went to a doc to get it checked out). There are many folks hitting site to take a look at it when it was all smashed and I've been meaning to post what it looks like now. It's fully recovered and you can't even tell anything ever happened to it. In fact is was pretty much fully recovered within 8 months. It just took me a while to get around to posting new pics. Lots of music to post first.

There's some dirt under the fingernail after doing some gardening, but as you can see, it's a beautiful, fully functioning finger again...playing rock-n-roll keys...noisely, nervously, annoyingly tapping on tables and percussionable objects....attached to a hairy hand.



So those with smashed fingers, you have my empathy. Hang in there... time will heal it.

Here's all the posts documenting the smashed finger saga (in reverse order):

• finger and fingernail fully recovered!!!...1 year and 4 months later....
• fingernail recovering...5.5 month update....
• fingernail recovering...4 month update....
• fingernail recovering...3rd month update....
• fingernail starting to grow back - about 2.5 months after the smashing.
• fingernail coming off - about 2 months after the smashing.
• update 1.5 months.
• update 2.5 weeks.
• stabbed the finger to release the pressure.
• smashed a finger.

Anyone with a story of a smashed finger, I'll be happy to post it. Just drop an email or feel free to comment on this post or any of the others.

27 Miles To Go (Lover's Game Tonight) -mp3

See now the post of 2 days ago makes sense, huh?

After we got done with Slinky Slider, we went right away into this song. I did a little digital editing to get it work. So this is another tune from our April 2008 practice.

I wasn't able to really get what Bradly was saying lyrically, but I was able to pull out enough to name the tune. And that inspired me to post these pics of the Marquette Interchange in Milwaukee. Fits in with my tradition of posting some winter images in summer and summer images in winter. It's going be like 90 degrees today. So enjoy the cold images, eh?

The tunes a bit of a punky mess, but I dig it. I hope you do to. It's our Friday gift to you. Enjoy the tune and enjoy your weekend.

Horizons They Are Gonna Meet You

Here's a new one for you that was recorded in September 2007 by Bradly and myself. It's a first take (or rather an only take), so it's a bit rough. It was recorded using the Hammond M3 and Bradly's Strat using the Zoom H4 as per the usual these days. It's a song about driving through the desert... not sure where (not necessarily the Arizona desert) and about getting through life's troubles and how there is always another day or something like that... sh*t I've said too much already... just take a listen... you'll want to listen to this at least twice before it's sinks in some... so don't just hate it right away... give it a chance to breath... there's some farty stuff in there.... we probably should have called the band Fart Proudly.... well here's goes and enjoy:
