Guitar playing for more than four decades has taken its toll on traditional country artist Tommy Cash, who underwent surgery yesterday morning in a Nashville-area hospital for carpal tunnel syndrome, a painful progressive condition caused by compression of a key nerve in the wrist.

Currently touring in support of his brand-new Fade to Black album for InLight Records, Tommy is expected to resume his concert schedule in early December following a doctor-recommended break for adequate recovery time.

Hooah Radio (www.hooahradio.com), in honor of Veteran’s Day, will rebroadcast its recent interview with Tommy during the online, troop-supported and veteran-operated station’s Nov. 11 day of webcasting.
