Jeff Golub announces trouble seeing??

Guitarist Jeff Golub Is Going Blind


Written by SquidBoy


Through his website, Golub describes some issues he was having during the sessions for his last album, Three Kings.


While recording the record I started having a little trouble with my right eye. I tried to ignore it, but the condition worsened. Oddly enough, I was working with Henry, who coincidentally is blind. After the recording and trips to several of NY's top eye specialists, I was diagnosed with a collapse of the optic nerve in my right eye. It is just some random thing that can happen to people...no real reason why or real cause...just a curve ball life throws at you sometimes.

So, I am slowly adjusting to this one-eyed life, learning to play baseball with my 8 year old, and slowly, carefully driving to the beach to take our crazy 6 month old puppy for a walk so he will be just a bit less crazy and traveling to do what I love doing...playing guitar. As I always tell my kids I am so lucky that the words play and work are in the same sentence in my life. I love what I do. It is the other half of me that completes me...the yin, the yang...I've got family, friends and I've got amazing work with wonderful fans that support what I do.
