Local magazine featuring my husband who has metastatic Gleason 9 prostate cancer

37. He's actually mentioned in the story in the magazine.

They were in a band called Crossfork. They played Country Music, which isn't really my cuppa tea, but they made it all the way to the finals in the Marlboro Music Contest in the late 90s, iirc. All expenses paid trip to Nashville to compete in the finals, professional videos of their performance, etc. Here's one of the videos from those finals:

&t=176s
(I've cued it to start at my favorite part. Probably after an ad which you can probably skip after a few seconds.)

The guy playing acoustic guitar stage right (left side of video) is the luthier, Carl, the lead singer is his wife, BJ, the electric guitar player, Tom, is the one who recognized the bag-o-guitar-parts as Kenny's Martin. The harmonica player is my husband, Kenny.

BJ had cancer. I'm not sure exactly of the details, but she had been in treatment prior to the contest. She died a few years after. Carl took it hard, fell apart, and eventually just disappeared from here.

So, Kenny doesn't really hold it against Carl. What with his wife dying of cancer and all. And really, who waits 24 years to ask for their guitar back from the luthier?
