RE: IN MEMORY OF MY FIRST BORN SON JASON RAPP

in #lifelast year

THANK YOU
I truly appreciate your comment. I just wish he would have recorded more - I actually encouraged him at the time he posted it a year ago. Because it was so different from what he was doing with his metal band (which basically had not done much since 2012). At that time he suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome and could not do any sustained playing. In conversations later he said it was getting better.
I am still in shock. He used to call me from Canada, time difference of 8 hours behind mine in Austria, so I got calls at 3 AM. These days I sort of wake up around that time thinking I should call him .... until I realize he is not there anymore. 😥

Musicians getting repetitive stress injuries is much harder on them than it sounds to most people. I know this because a friend couldn't play guitar after injuring himself. He became depressed enough to drop out of college. I wish he recorded more too,
