Sherri Marler Jones Roper I want to wish you and your beautiful family the happiest of holidays
Andrew Caldwell I would call "Books on the shelf" haunting. I awoke this morning with that guitar riff, the soft part, playing in my head. I think I am drawn to it because of why you wrote it. Not only do I work in ABI rehab I had an uncle who suffered and anoxic injury. He was a lifelong guitar player and he was good at it too. I too...k him about 3 years to get back to playing well. Listening to him he sounded good as ever but he said he still had to think about what he was playing (he played western Merl Travis style) whereas before it was just automatic. Thanks Jason, keep working hard.
John-Paul Dees I just finished watching your documentary, I was touched by so many things. Your family an inspiration. As are you, an inspiration to all. I was and am fascinated by your ability to play the guitar. The passion in your music makes it all the more enjoyable to listen too. Your song "The books on the Shelf" has moved me... and has been the song playing in my head for the last couple of days. it has quite recently reached the most played song on my i-pod. Thank you for your music the sound is beautiful. Your music shall always find a place in my heart. Your story will continue to inspire me for years to come as it has inspired me tonight. I Hope all is well. Sincerely, John-Paul
Tiffany Driver your documentary kept me awake until 12:30am lastnight. i was so tired but so intrigued i couldnt turn off the tv. you are truly amazing.
Molly I just saw a documentary about you. You are an inspiration!!! Your family is too!
Lucas Miles dude! i just posted music of yours from you tube on my fb. "books on a shelf" is shiny shimmering music, man. thanks for it. if you ever have time, i would love to catch up. until then....
Don Jason make sure you go in at least once a year for an MRI, NO MATTER what they say just found out last week I have another brain tumor?
Debbie Gabriele I am a friend of Bill Crigler (your uncle) in Raton NM. He loaned me the dvd and I watched it over a couple of days. It's not one to watch all at one time. Amazing stuff. I am moved by the capacity of the human mind and spirit. Having worked in long term care for 15 years I have seen more of the worst case scenario. Yo...ur story is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Joe Brinson Hey, Jason - I hear you are playing at Banjo Jim's tomorrow night? If so, I'll be there!
Brandy My brother was hit by an suv 2 yrs. ago and had severe traumatic brain injuries. He is in a vegetative state and my parents and I care for him at home. Your story gives us so much encouragement. I would love to ask your parents a few questions. Mainly, what exactly did they do everyday. I have tried what seems to be ev...ery kind of stimulation there is, with very little change. any words of wisdom? thanks and congrats.
Laurie I am an ER/Trauma nurse at Lancaster General in PA. I saw your story as part of a Neuroscience conference I attended. I wanted to tell you that, in my line of work, I see so much devastation in relation to any kind of traumatic brain injury. I admit, I had become very cynical as to positive outcomes. You have given me ...a new sense of hope and also have made me realize why I became a nurse during a time I was questioning my career choice. Through watching the love and support of your family, as well as the determination you have shown, I have a renewed sense of purpose as a nurse. I want to thank you for helping me realize that my heart is still there and I feel it is filled with hope again. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your beautiful music with the world.
Nicole Jason I just wanted to say that your story is amazing and right now at this very moment I am dealing with this same thing. My husband suffered from an AVM on Sept. 1 of this year (20 day's ago). His left side currently is paralized and we are all hoping and praying everyday that he will progress. He did have surgery... and right now his right bone flap is removed due to all the swelling he had. Hopefully by the end of this week he will be out of the Neuro ICU and at a Rehab center. The last few days have been "slow" day's for him but everyone feel's that he is making great progress. Hearing your story has given me great hope for my future with my husband and our 2 kids. It has been extremely difficult but I believe that God truely gives you only what you can handle. I guess he thinks I'm a pretty strong girl :) Thank you Soooooooo much even though you didn't do anything but share your story it really helps!!
Larry Dodson Jason, I saw your story staying up late one night. I was very moved by your courage and your determination. You are an inspiration to all of us and I wish you and your family health and happiness. My family loves your music because it has so much feeling when we listen to it. Continued success and may God Bless You.
David Nabb Jason is wonderful! I'm in total admiration.
