Jay, Mainly play acoustic guitar, although dabble in a few other instruments. My main interest is old-time string-band music, although am starting to learn cajun backup.
Otherwise am glad to have gotten through the accident with not too much damage. Could have easily had a collarbone or wrist go snap. In fact, am contemplating a ride later today. But it will be on my upright bar bike and very leisurely. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Sun, Aug 5, 2012 at 3:21 AM, Jay in Tel Aviv <jayin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Glad your hands are alright.
