... that two weeks ago I played a Christmas party in NJ with the guitar player from our former NY band ...
'sparky589' came and paid a visit - unfortunately near the end of the gig - but we had a chance to meet and chat ...
The young man has had a difficult year - loss of a close friend, divorce, health issues, but he looks great and seems to be coming out of it OK ... he was going to be playing his first gig in a long time that following week ...
hopefully he will be back in S-Z soon ...
