    I was raised all over the US. Dad was oil refinery tech. My formative years we lived in Alabama. My mother made friends with a Cajun Matriarch, and I was "raised" by the Beasley family to hunt, fish, trap, skin, butcher, still and brew. I joined the Air Force right out of High School and went into non-traditional training where I knew more than the instructors on survival. I've since trained thousands to survive and thrive. I am retired now and raise my own food and make my own wine and mead. Rest for a Cajun is playing gospel, bluegrass, blues and family songs while passing a mason jar. The songs get softer and slower as the night goes on. This reminds me of those hot sticky nights with a cool breeze now and then listening to the guitar, harmonica, fiddle and box drum. Good times, good memories.

      If you play bass, you might want to take a serious study of "the blues" - a surprising number of metal's sick bass guitar licks come from the blues.
      Most heavenly blues player I ever heard was actually the bassman for a metal concert warming up, Megadeth, I think, but it might have been Metallica or Guns & Roses (I was setting up T shirt booths in the concourse, while the tour guys got the stadium ready for the magic)

      Make a mental point to stay off them through the hardest time. Been there, that's the only way to go. Otherwise, you are risking relapsing when the time gets harder. Purposefully stay off them through the "as bad as it gets" part. Literally brute force through it using sheer willpower. Remember that once you are through it, nothing can make you go back, and you are free. You can do it. Good luck on your journey, it's worth it on the other side.

      @@crabbtrixexp You are so kind., I am honored by that gesture.
      I can get by, but I have a 97 year old neighbor who has a major hernia from a man who kicked her after someone thwarted a rape attempt (on a then 91 year old woman)! She lives with her mentally handicapped daughter (70ish) and I worry about what happens when the mom passes. They live for each other.
      The medicine the mom needs is $3.50 a day ($105 per month), but they don't have enough money for food, let alone medicine, so I help out as best as I can. I cannot bear to see her in pain at the end of her life. She is one of the kindest women I have ever met. They have no one else in the community who can help, so I stop by every week with a package of pills, and some rice and veggies. The past few months I cringe when I see the daughter approaching my home to look for tomatoes, onions, chicken, toilet paper...because as a foreigner, there is no way I can say no to their needs. It has been a struggle to help (and to do so graciously without feeling burdened - I am not always at that point, truthfully). I need tires, but they need food and they will always win out.
      If you would like to help my neighbors, they would consider a gift from God. A few months ago I bought a big box of groceries. The daughter was ecstatic that I had included a big bar of laundry soap, evidently something they had not had in a while. And the excitement over a soft brand of toilet paper for the outhouse made me want to cry. It was beyond humbling. I may be living the blues, but their life has been the blues for most of their existence.

    Whish my grandfather had lived long enough to see all the musicians who played the same instruments he did. He played the resonator guitar and a pedal dual neck steel guitar all his life. He played Blues and Bluegrass mostly, had pictures from when he played as a backup at the Grand Ole Opry where he met my grandmother. He passed years ago from Alzheimer's, but one of the things in the later stages that could bring him back for a spell was sitting him down and putting that steel guitar in front of him. He would start feeling it, pressing the pedals...then slowly start to play. It was always amazing how the music woke him up so to say. That and him cursing (he was a Navy vet) at his fingers for not "fu#$%ng listening to him" while he played and talked.
