Lest you think I am the only blogger/writer in my family, let me set the record straight. My sister is the real writer in the family, following in the steps of my grandmother before her. Luckily, she writes about food, and not as the result of some terrible, unfortunate health circumstance.
Her fiancé, however, started his blog after suffering a traumatic brain injury about three years ago that has left him with near permanent vertigo and killer migraines, among other super-fun things (and we thought having a wacked out immune system sucked!).
But, like me, he decided to try and make something good come out of this horrible thing, and in the midst of dealing with his injury, picked his guitar back up and began writing a song. That song turned into an idea to put together an album as he rediscovered one of his original loves: music.
I'm proud to report that he has posted his first finished, fully recorded song, Here Comes the Weather, online (including on itunes), and it's great. Seriously, or I wouldn't be writing about it publicly. But enough from me. If you want to check out more about his story and hear the song, head over to his blog, Cerebellum Blues.
Thank you for the the shout out! Super cool of you.
