The Sweet Relief album was sort of my introduction to MS . Do you feel that many know of your work because of MS ? Well definitely people who have the unfortunate diagnose of MS . A lot of people got in touch with me , asking what I was taking and stuff like that .
What was it that originally led you to be tested for MS ?
I was out touring , opening for Neil Young and I was playing solo . It was like two week spurts and then you ’ d have two weeks off . I remember I was playing a gig one night and I had to leave the next day to go on the next spurt . It was hard for me to walk and I went to a chiropractor because I thought there was something wrong with my back . I thought I might have pulled something . He said I think you have MS . I thought he was crazy !
