Walter Trout's Desire To Play Again Helping Liver Transplant Recovery

(The Blues) Walter Trout has admitted his first time holding a guitar since his liver transplant didn't go well - but the thought of being able to play again is pushing him on.

He expects to spend the rest of the year recuperating after his heavy lifestyle brought him close to death ahead of a nine-hour operation in May. Speaking from a rehabilitation centre in Omaha, Trout tells OC Weekly: "My son brought in a guitar here the other day, and I can barely press the strings. I don't have the muscles in my arms and fingers.

"But I'm going to do my best to get back out there and keep playing. It's what sustains me; it nourishes me and heals me spiritually to get up and play to people, feel that guitar in my arms and play it." More on this story.
