Honza Nedvěd: Hearing problems
Relatives come out together, and when the legendary Honza Nedvěd they called, suddenly came to life.
„Strejda really badly hears. Some frequencies are bad enough. Therefore, special wiretaps are performed in his ears. Otherwise it spilled so that he could not distinguish between the individual guitars. But we managed to bring it together to suit him, “says his nephew František Nedvěd Jr., who is performing with his son Honza Nedvěd. The famous relative was invited and he enthusiastically agreed.
„Dad gave up playing because his hearing was getting worse. You influence the sound of the whole band on stage and Dad felt bad. Today, however, time has advanced significantly, so we are looking for ways to help him. We already have a lot of ideas to give him a full return so that he can be a full-fledged musician, “revealed eXtra.cz Honza Nedvěd Jr.
Fast reaction
„It does not have problems with reduced volume, but in a certain cutout with some frequencies. Not that he didn’t hear them, but it sounds like a hoarse speaker. It is then difficult to stick to harmony, to know what to sing and to hear well. We will help him with that, I believe to two months a fully hearing person will ride with us again, “he hopes.
An improved hearing will come in handy for the musician. He found a zest for life and especially for playing in front of the audience.
Father’s kiss
“Dad told us first joint appearance thank you very much and for the first time in forty years, he kissed me on the cheek. I had tears in my eyes. And it’s important for Fanda as well. He has been dedicated to music all his life, but his dad never fully admitted him to his body and didn’t give him a chance to play. And now, after so many years of holding a guitar in his hand for ten years, my dad comes and tells him ‘Fan, you sing beautifully and you play beautifully!’. He would never admit it to you, but it made him cry. Dad never told him that. He too gained a new dimension of life and new motivation. When his real dad leaves, he is partially replaced by mine, “added Honza Nedvěd Jr.
František Nedvěd Jr. then he revealed how the relative’s transformation was taking place. “We only have two concerts with Honza Nedvěd Jr., but Uncle wants to play a lot, so he says he will ride with us. ‘That will be great!’ he told us excitedly. It is full of energy and vigor and has already sent us some new songs, so there will be a new repertoire, “added the man, who seems to have fallen out of sight to his late father.
