I am curious if playing guitar is completely out of the picture for Lu or if she is working on “re-learning,” and re-incorporating it into her shows. It will be interesting to see… The renditions they are doing of the songs now are pretty sick, Stu is unbelievable. However, I never realized how much Lu’s rhythm playing carried all the songs until it wasn’t there anymore.
I predict, based on no knowledge or experience or really anything resembling intelligence, that Lu needs to regain strength in her left arm before she can play again.
I just read on fb, per Butch, that she still plays all the time to write- she just does not feel comfortable enough yet to bring the guitar back to the stage yet. It could have a lot to do with balance too and lingering issues with her arm from the stroke.
