Fortunately nothing really bad happened: a concussion, four broken ribs and a broken shoulder. I could type and do minor things, but the doctors told me to stay home for a while. Staring at the ER roof a long night also made me think more about the little time we all have for each pass on this planet — and that I should focus music-wise on things that are really important and productive. In my case it is getting back to producing bands and doing music that I think should be heard. So every bad event has a positive outcome.As it seems I don’t get tired typing and it does not hurt — actually expect a little bit more postings during the next 10 days or so. Meanwhile, if you bike, wear a helmet and padded gloves and anything else that saves you if you hit a windshield and the road. If I didn’t do that, most likely I would look like a cyborg attached to a life-supporting device just now.

Glad you’re alright. I just received a bike as a gift and I’m still getting used to riding in a big city. I do wear a helmet, but I should look into gloves. And thanks for the nudge. You’re absolutely right. Life is short, I should make more music.

Yes, any protection for bike riding is a cheap insurance. Bike gloves are good to have, avoid serious problems with fingers — something that we musicians are always worried about. Those won’t protect all accidents, but in my case I didn’t get a single scratch on my fingers.

Glad you’re doing okay Kent. All the stuff you post here actually makes me stop and think for a while… a lot different from the majority of music-related blogs. Keep it up.
