Hey everyone,

As most of you know I haven't been able to play the guitar since I was diagnosed with a hand injury on Feb 19th after injuring myself on Jan 29th but being misdiagnosed.

After an MRI and surgery it was revealed that I had a complete and total separation of one of my ligaments in my left hand. I had surgery on April 3rd but still can't use my hand. 

5 days after my surgery I wrote a song on a mini Kinnor Harp using one hand. I tried to use it like a guitar lol. I tuned it to D major. I was sitting on my couch resting with my dog when this song fell out of me. I hope you like it. It's called "His Light" . I recorded a couple of weeks ago!

thanks so much for watching!

Maria

Get well soon Maria, you're a real trooper. You play better with one hand than I do with two.
