It had been the band’s best gig ever; they were smoking hot and the audience loved them. All the years of playing in dingy clubs and for anyone who wanted to listen were finally beginning to pay off. His guitar was part of him and the music came from his soul.
They told him later that the truck driver had been drinking and fell asleep at the wheel. The truck hit the band’s van, spun it off the road and it rolled over. Somehow his hand had gotten wedged into the mangled metal. He was really grateful that everyone had survived, but he felt as though his life was over. Music was all he knew, and The doctors said that he would need at least one more operation and a lot of therapy, but they couldn’t say if he’d ever be able to play the guitar again. Music wasn’t just his job, it was everything.
One of the band members said that some insurance guy had been by with some papers, but he thought they should talk to someone before they signed anything. When they talked to the lawyer, he said it was good that they hadn’t signed anything. The insurance company just wanted to pay as little as possible and right now, no one knew what the medical expenses would be. What would happen to the band? What would happen to him?
