I got an email from my very good friend Chas last Friday on the way out the door for a 30 hour recording session.

He has multiple serious physical problems and has shut off his land line.

The area around my eyes got pretty moist when he wrote he had my name at the top of the list of people to call when the time came. He thinks that time may be before Christmas.

It is my position that Chas is the best musician here. But that pales when you realize the type of man he is.

Please think good thoughts about our dear friend.

I'm so very glad to know him.
