June 30, 2004-June 30, 2024.
A friend of mine went through a severe health crisis shortly after he made this video. There was a documentary on what happened to him-you can watch it in the link below. I remember playing many gigs with him prior to this with our band, The Rub, and many others. I also remember how poorly he was doing during his illness, but I didn't truly understand the severity of it. He has recovered and now lives a healthy life.
I want to record something like this and observe my changes over the next twenty years. What will life look like in 2044?
Life is short.
Live each day to the fullest because you never know what may happen.
In 2004, Jason Crigler's life was taking off. He was one of New York's hottest young guitarists, his new CD was due for release and his wife, Monica, was pregnant with their first child. Then, at a gig in Manhattan, Jason suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage. His doctors doubted he would ever emerge from his near-vegetative state. The astonishing journey that followed, documented by friend and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Eric Daniel Metzgar, is a stunning family saga and a portrait of creative struggle in the face of overwhelming tragedy.
