Life can be a wild thing, and this weekend, it came full circle in a way.
I bought a ’68 Princeton reissue back in 2019. Days later, that same amp was gone when I was hit by a reckless driver going 70+ mph. The amp was completely crushed to pieces, never to be played again.
Years later. After all the speech, occupational, and physical therapies, the patience of waiting, and being able to get myself back up to speed on my physical and mental capacities. Years later, I finally did it.
I have a ‘68 reissue back in my hands. It was a birthday present to myself this weekend. I know it might not seem much to many, but this amp holds a special place in my memories.
It kind of feels like I’m back to “normal”. I know my brain will never be the same, and that I still battle my brain getting cooked on things, conversations, and other tasks. But, man. Life is short, and it’s always nice to look at the victories we make. This being one.
A big thank you to Micah for making this happen and, more importantly, all of my friends and family for lifting me up out of a wild place that I never asked to be in. My heart is happy today ☀️
