My brother is an incredibly gifted acoustic guitarist and singer. Since he was laid off from a great corporate job last year, he's been making his living solely as a musician.

But he wrecked his mountain bike about ten days ago and did some serious damage to tendons and ligaments in his left little finger. Tomorrow, he's seeing a hand specialist to find out what he has to do to ensure that the finger will heal well enough not to limit him as a player. Depending on the answer, he may have to forfeit months of gigs he's already booked and try to get back into the corporate world... which might not be easy around here, at this time.

But I believe in the power of our "vibes"... so please, if you're so inclined, send up a good thought for my little brother's left pinky finger!

Lots of healing vibes coming.

A musician should never be limited. Does your brother like Al Demiola? I think that is spelled correctly. My old roomate played acoustic quite well, and he used to listen to Al DeMiola all the time. What a fanstastic musician.

Sending pinky vibes your brothers way!

Just remember, Tom Petty broke his entire hand when he punched a wall one time. He healed. There is hope.

Sending many healing vibes for your brother.

If in the event its bad tell him to go listen to Django Reinhardt. He is "one of the most renowned jazz guitarists of all time." He was severly burned in a fire at the age of 18. His left hand was severly injured. He relearned how to play with 2 fingers. When you hear him play you would never know it.
The quote if from Wikipedia, here is the link.

I will definately send vibes. When life gives you lemons, make lemonaid.
