Not
long after that brief session, I slipped in the dark on some seaweed
and fell down hard outside Uyeasound Hall on Up Helly-Aa night, breaking
something in my neck. A couple of days after that, I all but took the
end of my left-hand thumb off while cleaning my table-saw the wrong
way (because my right arm wasn't working). My thumb was still bleeding
freely three weeks later, and eventually turned septic after my doctor
at the time had declined to do anything about it. In the end, it got
cleaned up by a very competent lady locum from New Zealand wielding
a scalpel, eighteen months after the original accident. The neck injury was mis-diagnosed as a result of faulty (badly-calibrated) x-ray equipment at the local hospital, and cost me two years of near-total loss of use of my right arm. An MRI scan carried out 18 months after the accident, down at Wood End hospital in Aberdeen, showed that I'd actually sustained the same kind of damage to my neck TWICE during my life, not just the once - but when it had happened the first time was anyone's guess. The second accident caused permanent nerve damage in the 'feedback' part of the nerve setup to that arm, and continues to be an active problem. The damage to my thumb has never truly healed, and for all but the last year or so has made it very uncomfortable for me to fret chords or operate a slide properly. Public guitar-playing is now unfortunately in permanent abeyance, unless I get really lucky - but I live in hope of an improvement. |

'Never
Going Back Again' (L. Buckingham) This clip was recorded during May 2001 for use on the Eyestone Guitars' website, as a demo of the sound of the prototype Eyestone 'Arrow', now known as the 'A-Modell'. It shows the novel 'slotted Eyestone bridge' design, that allows for very fast and easy changing of the strings. |
