Further into the story, I'm glad you're ok, Billy. You are a natural story teller and even something as scary as this, you manage to make it entertaining. I only just noticed this was from back in March. Never got the notification for this. Had to search your channel for new content and found this.
Glad you hanging in there!
Came here from Brad. Can't get enough of seeing people fix old and busted junk, so it was a no brainer. Best wishes for your health friend
Brad is pretty much a TH-cam institution, one hell of a creator and an amazingly good guitarist. I can only hope to make videos as engaging as his but he's a master at it. He has supported me being a small time creator and I am and I'm proud to consider him a friend even though we have never met.
@@BustedJunkStudio where are you located. I watched your health video. I gather you are in California. I maybe wrong. You said Sharp hospital. There's a Sharp hospital in California.
I have a vintage 1969 kustom amp head. It cuts out and also has volume jump. I'm looking for a pro.. if you're not to far away.. please reply
@@christopherball7937 I'm in San Diego, 14 miles from Mexico. Currently I'm not setup for electronics work, the place is a disaster area buried with medical supplies. I think I know what's wrong with your amp... cracked solder joint(s), nothing real serious but after all those years it's bound to happen.
Glad it all went well ! Otherwise, how we gonna learn anything !
Prayers and blessings on your health my friend 🙏💪
Hi Billy. Brad brought me here through his community post. What a story.
I'm so happy you are doing great.
Came here from Brad's post.
I gotta tell ya, you sir are a tough bone to chew on! And great story teller indeed. Keep on rockin'.
Glad u r doing well! Take it easy we want u around! Rather have a little less of u than none at all!
As a recipient of a stent and the hospital dynamics involved I fully get it!
PIN CUSHION thy name be!
Now if you want real drama and edge of your seat action...hunt with Norm!
Of course I'm one of his bow buddies
Great channel, love the information and the story telling in your unique perspective
I found your channel through Brad. I can't believe I haven't found it earlier. Good job, sir! I hope your health improves from here on out. You are too young for all that crap.
Thanks, For 71, I'm doing pretty good now but there are still some issues, there's been multiple infarcts over the years and the heart is not as strong as it used to be. I have a great team of doctors on the case and they are keeping me as healthy as possible. I'm finally working on some new videos now, it's been months since my last one.
What an experience. Thank you for not only your amazing story but also for sharing this "episode" I had a stent installed in 2011 followed by a triple bypass in 2013. I had 3 major heart attacks on February 16th 2017. One for the ride to the hospital and two more while in that same hospital ER visit. The heart surgeon installed 7 more stents, as the deemed another open heart surgery "too risky". Some of the stents were among the smallest medically available in 2017. Of all the things I have been educated about because of my heart issues and I have never heard of this possible risk. Now I do thanks you sharing. I need to have a chat with my Cardiologist.
I'm one ICD ahead of you, about the same amount of heart attacks, the same triple bypass but I only have 2 stents so far. I saw a CAT scan of my chest recently and it looks like the inside of an old TV... lot's of wires and components scattered around.
@@BustedJunkStudio I can only imagine. I have not seen any of mine. I asked for the video of the bypass and they tried to tell me the didn't record them. I just laughed and said malpractice insurance costs say you do. They still won't let me see it lol. I am glad that Brad sent me your way. Stay smooth see you soon.
Thanks for sharing your story, Bill. My best to you and your good health.
New subscriber. Getting all caught up. Love your videos and your style! Hope you are doing well and can't wait to see the next video!
RIP
Hey Billy, you doing OK, I haven't seen any videos from you lately.
I'm still here. I've had a string of medical issues, none of which has killed me but they have put me out of action for a bit. I'm currently getting back to finishing a video I started a few months ago, actually most of it has yet to be shot but I'll get there.
@@BustedJunkStudio Hey good to hear from ya. Don't strain yourself making videos. Take care of yourself first.
Oh hell no! Lidocaine and mystery juice would not be enough for me! I'd demand a mallet to the head. God bless you!!
Good thing they highlighted, "follow these instructions at home." Don't want to miss that. Glad you're with us! Looking forward to many more videos.
Are you ok Bill.. all video's are a year old or older
Yeah, still kicking. Things medically have got complicated and drawn out a lot but I'm doing good. I'm trying to get my studio back together again and get some more videos out. I have a lot to tell yet.
