John is a great guy.   Several years ago John played a festival and did a workshop called 1000 years of British History.   My mom is a British history buff and attended the Sunday afternoon concert.    I introduced the two of them together and they discussed British history for over an hour.   It was the best Mothers Day gift I could have given her.   Afterwards, John came over to me and said "your mom really knows her British history"

Here's to a speedy recovery.
