Andy Thorn, fearless banjo player for Leftover Salmon, had a bit of a mishap last week while skiing on Colorado’s Copper Mountain. He took a tumble and his right ski failed to eject from the boot, and Andy’s right foot twisted all the way round.

Fortunately, his wife was with him, got to him quickly, and realized the leg was broken. She was able to get in touch with mountain rescue, who brought Andy down the slope and to the hospital where emergency surgery was performed.

After a day to recover, Thorn was on stage with Keller Williams, but in a seated, stationary position.

AcK! We are going to see him this Saturday with LOS at Sierra Nevada Brewing! I imagine the pain med will be flowing!

Well except for the crutches, and the chair Andy showed little effect from the injury. LOS was awesome this last Saturday night at Sierra Nevada Brewing!

That's good to hear!  As you've alluded to above, pain meds can be a factor.  I've found with all the incidents of a bad back over the years, that I lose most "super powers of my ear" in relatively short order after the initial "honeymoon".  It's almost as if auditory gets numbed; along with all other nervous system functions.
