Over the years, I have told this story hundreds of times. At restaurants, friend’s homes, camping trips and many other places. There have been a number of times where I start telling the story to one person and soon find myself surrounded by a number of people all tentatively listening. These attentive listeners will […]

As Funny as a Brain Tumor! Part 2
Ok, where was I? Oh yeah……… So all this hysterical laughing is going on. As this is getting worse and worse, things in my life start to quickly fall apart around me. Most of my relationships are stressed because people think I’m a little strange (OK very strange if not crazy). The bands I’m in […]

As Funny as a Brain Tumor! Part 8
Ok, on with the story. If you’ve read parts 1-7 you know I’ve been through quite the ordeal so far. It’s over now. All that is behind me and I can move on. I can start living my life again and not worry about what’s wrong with me or what surgery I need next. This […]
As Funny as a Brain Tumor! Part 9
Ok, I have my emotions contained again and can go on with my story……. After the neurosurgeon told me I couldn’t play the saxophone ever again, I think I was in shock. I didn’t know what to say or how to feel. After a short while, I started feeling this heavy feeling of sadness coming […]
