So working for over 12 hrs allowed my mind to wander to things barely considerable as thoughts. And then that led to a question.. I dont think ive ever seen a wheel chair musician? They play basketball and everything else but yet something so much simpler isnt even thought of.



Googles answer:



crossing a Michigan highway in his wheelchair when he became stuck in a semitrailer’s grille and pushed for miles

Wow, similar thing happened in a recent episode of My Name is Earl (except it was a hospital gurney).



You probably don't hear about them because it's not that big of a deal, there are wheelchair musicians all over. Most musicians are seated anyway, so you probably won't even notice.



Or do you mean like a rock/pop musician?

He does write and compose his own ****, which is more then i can say for most of the country "musicians" (yes i use that term loosely in this application) and he knows more notes then the 3 notes usually necessary to be a country star



**** half the country fans i know don't even know 89.5% of Garth's songs were Billy Joel tunes (btw, they're actually good songs when Billy Joel sings them)
