== Fracture of the hip. ==


Just wanted to let you know that the statement made about a fractured hip turning into a full break is actually the exact same thing.
Both the words fracture and break mean that a bone has been "busted".
In medical terminology we use the term fracture, although shortened to ' # '.
We use the term interchangeably due to some persons knowledge. And because some people believe that a break sounds more serious than a fracture.
But both are broken. [[User:Redrecks|Redrecks]] ([[User talk:Redrecks|talk]]) 17:19, 8 December 2018 (UTC)


== Tom Petty on bass guitar ==
== Tom Petty was born in 1950. Tom graduated in 1968 one year ahead of my sister and me from Gainesville High School. My sister was born in 1951 and I was born in 1952. My sister and I were in the same grade because I skipped third grade. My mother and I did a radio talk show in Gainesville for ten years called "Down The Street". We had the pleasure of interviewing Tom's father Earl several times. We also went to school with Tom's two cousins Sadie and Norma Darnell.


Petty extensively played bass guitar on recordings and in concert. He was the bassist in Mudcrutch in both their early and later years, he recorded bass on many Heartbreakers records, his solo albums and in one instance, a Johnny Cash album.
Tom is a wonderful person and an incredible muscian and songwriter. Always has been, always will be.
Therefore, I believe bass guitar should be listed on his list of notable instruments. [[User:ChristianJosephAllbee|ChristianJosephAllbee]] ([[User talk:ChristianJosephAllbee|talk]]) 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Fracture of the hip.

[edit]

Just wanted to let you know that the statement made about a fractured hip turning into a full break is actually the exact same thing. Both the words fracture and break mean that a bone has been "busted". In medical terminology we use the term fracture, although shortened to ' # '. We use the term interchangeably due to some persons knowledge. And because some people believe that a break sounds more serious than a fracture. But both are broken.

Tom Petty on bass guitar

[edit]

Petty extensively played bass guitar on recordings and in concert. He was the bassist in Mudcrutch in both their early and later years, he recorded bass on many Heartbreakers records, his solo albums and in one instance, a Johnny Cash album. Therefore, I believe bass guitar should be listed on his list of notable instruments. ChristianJosephAllbee (talk) 03:30, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
