Had a really long chat with Nev. yesterday. He is still hanging on in there and has even spent sometime out in the garden and picked up his guitar again. He said the first time he got it nicely tuned and then was too tired so put it back down. Second time started playing but right shoulder began to pain him. Suggested holding it a different way (á la Cash?) or transferring to ukelele. He was due at Hospital today for more chemo but we are hoping to visit tomorrow if he is not too exhausted. Is beginning to talk about going out for an hour to a session somewhere but wife has not given permission - yet and he is really beginning to miss the festivals he cannot get to. He thanks everyone for cards and messages and says he cannot answer them all as a) no addresses and b) too tired even if the inclination is there. So keep fighting Nev, we are with you all the way.
