Damn, sorry to hear that Slam. My dad had a massive stroke when I was a senior in high school, luckily he did awaken and recovered most of the affected areas, but it was a long slow process. It's hard on everyone, so I understand what you might be facing. You and yours will be in my thoughts my friend. Condolences and stay strong.

Condolences to you and your family, Slam. I lost my dad after a massive stroke almost three years ago, and am still dealing with some of the emotional 'fallout' regarding a close family member. I have support from other relatives and friends, and I wish you the same.

Really sorry to hear about your mother, Slam. I'll be thinking of you and wishing for the best for you and yours. Life's a real s*****r sometimes. Stay strong, buddy.

Condolences and stay strong. -M Mom is 78, diabetic, has afib and has been in decline health-wise for the past few years. My Dad has been gone for almost 17 years. My Grandmother had a very bad stroke and lived for around ten years in a wheelchair with no movement on one side and unable to speak. Mom and my Aunt largely cared for her and Mom never ever wanted to end up that way. Callous as it may seem, she would be better off passing. The unavailability and expense of end-of-life hospice in this country is the tip of the iceberg on the joke that is "healthcare" in the U.S. I really do thank everyone for their kind thoughts. I just feel I should be able to think about what is best for her and all her family rather than all the dollars and cents lunacy.

Saturday traffic is getting worse and worse on the 91 and 215. Took me 4 hours to get home from school yesterday. Used to take about 2.5 hours.

Terrible news, Slam. You're in our thoughts.
We shouldn't have to be faced with money questions when family members are ailing; as if the stress wasn't great enough.

That's a pretty sweet looking guitar...but more than that I wanted to see who St.Vincent was and her music is utterly amazing! She has a kind Bowie feel to her that I'm in love with right now. Thanks for the share!

Thanks for the share! This is why I wish I could share videos in this thread vs. sharing them in the thread made specifically for them. A lot of people miss out on some good listens because they don't read the "what are you listening to now?" thread. I've posted a lot of music there, including St. Vincent. I hadn't heard of her (as a solo artist) until I got the "Love this Giant" album which is an album she does with David Byrne (Talking Heads). I love that album so much that I decided to check out her solo works, and I decided to start with her first album. And it's great.
