Johnny Blackfinger

During rehearsal in Hollywood I, I smacked my index finger on the snare so hard it popped. I looked down to find my finger almost broken and swelling up 4 times the size.  Everyone panicked.  We thought I was fucked because I begin recording on the 6th.  I bought some ice and iced it down non stop.  Our only backup plan was to teach andy all my parts immediately so he filled in on drums and we taught him the basics.  I was almost in tears I was so upset.  The day before the studio and I broke my finger.
