Please continue to keep Joe and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks,

I talked to Joe today. He is feeling much better now and seems to have licked the pneumonia. I think the closure of having the funeral has taken some of the weight off his mind.
His next battle is with cataracts, which are keeping him from doing much at all on the internet, but he wanted me to thank you for your prayers and good wishes.
A number of his musician friends are planning a benefit and tribute performance in November to help Joe with the funeral expenses and some of his tremendous hospital bills. Even with insurance they add up in a hurry. I hope to be able to make the benefit. I'll let you know when I know the date.

Give my best to Joe. Cataract surgery appears to be in the cards for me as well. Tomorrow morning I'll be at the eye center to set up a date for surgery sometime in early January for both eyes.

Don and Gary, cataract surgery appears to be nothing like it was years ago. I have a customer who had the surgery on a Thursday and was dancing his ass off on Saturday. He said that the only thing he minded was having to stay still for the better part of 24 hours. No pain at all, he says.

My dear father-in-law needed the surgery, but as an Alzheimer's patient, couldn't understand the need for limited movement.

Good luck!

The shame is, it won't make either one of you any prettier (LOL)!

The downside is that when I look in the mirror I'll be able to see how old I really am.

Cheers,

Gary, I think it's not the years as much as the miles.

Gary... no shirt, Shitlock. Luv ya man. Gawd, I hate aging. No place for sisses, as Betty Davis sayd. I actually remember her! Do any of you guys remember a horror film with her... something with name of "Charlotte?" Some gal's head was cut off. Man, that scared the gonads off me at about age 15.

All you guys... Russ... at least, I got a geetar out of you. Gary sold me a keyboard. Which I whored. Don... got me a whore, which I hocked for a geetar. From Russ. So, it's a never-ending circle for synthzoners.

I refuse to comment on the grounds that it might tend to incriminate me.

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte 1964 ...

First year of marriage ... took Lydia to see the movie ... in the flick someone would whisper "Charlotte, Charlotte", ... so after the movie we are in bed falling asleep and I whisper "Charlotte" ... Lydia damn near killed me !!!

WHOOOA, if that makes me a pimp, where's my commission?
