My friend, this level of absolute support (You're not fooling ANYONE, proud grandpa), is not surprising, but really life affirming.

Believe me, with support like yours, the material and the performances will get better.

My activity involves kids in dire economic shape, and kids with mental or psychological challenges. Music, or at least exposure to it is a bright spot in a pretty miserable life. My connection is the family and friends of my dear old music associate, George.

Anything involving kids and music is positive.

Of course you could adopt me. I'm "Little Russ Lay...only 73 1/2 years old..."

Thinking a lot about you guys these days.
