McGuinn Wrist Health Update

Roger wrote me with bad news:

I just found out today (Dec. 7) that I'll require surgery to reconstruct my broken wrist. They say it will be eight weeks before I'll be able to perform again.

How'd he break it? A fall..?

[Scastles]

Sad to hear. I had considered seeing him again in Ft. Worth next week. Obviously that's out.

He slipped on some ice in Nebraska while on tour.

Hopefully a full and speedy recovery as wrist breaks can be bad news (trust me - old Rollerblade dealer). In the mean time....does this mean that for a couple of weeks I can claim that I can play a Rickenbacker twelve better than McGuinn??????

Now's your chance man. Grab the brass ring while you can!

OH MAN, we've got tickets for his Jan 13th show here in Jupiter Florida!

Sorry to hear the bad news....

Just got the call. Show rescheduled to April.

Here's the latest:

Roger McGuinn uncancels Feb show
Hey, remember that time I told you that Roger McGuinn canceled his Feb. 1 show at the Mondavi? (Davis, CA)

Well, guess what? He really didn't.

Confused? Well, join the club. No, actually - McGuinn's booking agent canceled the show, you see, but McGuinn's manager didn't. So, what I'm trying to say here is that Roger McGuinn - broken wrist, be damned - will still be playing Feb. 1 at Mondavi's Jackson Hall.

He's Back - or is he?

[doctorwho]

I don't think that I could play with a broken wrist ... but then again, I pretty much broke my hand playing basketball about 8 years ago and I was back on the court two weeks later ... shooting mostly left-handed!

Here's hoping for a speedy, full recovery, Roger!

[firstbassman]

Well, he told me two weeks so Feb. 1 would just fit within that schedule.

Roger also mentioned to me that he broke his wrist before several years ago so he should know when it feels right to come back and play.

I could ask him but don't like to bug him too often.
