“I’m just supposed to play guitar and write songs, anything else is a strain.”
The greatest gift in the world is being able to create music no matter what the circumstances. So these are the new circumstances, and I’ll find a way to make it mean something. That’s all you can ever do.
Calling out to our friends over @MickMgmt so they know we have nothing but love, support and prayers for our John. We are all truly concerned for John’s health and are 100% behind him, his treatment and his recovery. We look forward to his new album and being involved in the development of his next.
Reblog if you support this motion…
So, I was in my stretch class this morning.. Shadow Days still on repeat in my mind.. my devastation for John still fresh in my heart. Yet as the words of the song empower us, our shadow days are over, and that includes this recent blow. We as a community, as a family, will get through this stronger than before, more united than ever.
Even though, I was not affected by the Spring Tour cancellation, I have many friends who have been. I was all pumped getting ready to live vicariously through you all as I sit here 13 hours ahead ready for the onslaught of video and photo posts. Alas, it’s not to be. Now, I instead plan to save my money for each day that John is in treatment and recovery so that I can fly to the US for his grand-welcome-back-tour.
Cut to.. my proposal. I know that we have all wanted a reprise of the ol’ MayerCraft. Yet, really guys, it’s been done. John’s different these days. What I suggest is a Woodstock-esque, two day, camp style festival of John and his fave muso’s. Whenever this date is, whenever John is ready to perform live again, we will wait and welcome him ‘home’ with giant massive arms.. Reblog if you are in… let’s see if we can make this happen.
Standing at Caravan last summer the thought occurred of John doing something like that but look at how long DMB [and Phish] have been at it. If John wants to add festival producer to the long list of accomplishment then how about Wyoming in August for Perseids?
I just want you to take your time.
I know it hurts you, and you know we feel it with you. We know that all these things didn’t happen like we wanted and you’ll not be able to do all of those things you were waiting to do, but all you need to do now is focus in your voice health.
We love you.
You can take your time, and when you come back we will be waiting right here.
Let us speak for you. You don’t need to speak now, because you know that a precious treasure is coming soon. It will speak for you.
We’re not going to give up on anything and we’re not going anywhere. We are here for you, my dearest, my loved, precious and wonderful man. Always.
All my love,
Jane
