Thumbs down *** Backs can be a *itch! ***

Wrenched my back working a concert in '81...I was on stage, working the point on John Denver's piano...I called out "On 3, Lift!" and went "One, two, three."

I then saw "stars" and then, the ceiling.

Everyone said they were waiting for me to say "Lift!"

Fumbducks...

Spent the rest of the "in" on my back, as a speed-bump that the crew had to walk around, then "the concert" up in the catwalk, trying to find any position that didn't cause me to "wet 'em."

Now, some 26 years later, the additional weight is the issue if I have to stand any great length of time...

A warm bath and taking it easy is the cheapest fix. Then you start adding the "med-of-choice" to the therapy.

And, as stated earlier, it doesn't get any better as you age....
