Hello Hes!

I'm really very sorry to hear that your troubles have been getting you down. I'm warmed to the bottom of my heart by the warmth, humanity, and compassion the people in this thread have offered you, not to mention their very practical advice.

Perhaps there is something I can do for you too. If you will PM me, and tell me exactly what you need in the way of patch cords for your setup, I will purchase some and snail-mail them to you, or bring them with me when next I come up, but I think mailing will be faster.

Remember, too that I also have the Roland, here. If you think that would be helpful to you, you are welcome to borrow it for a few months. Perhaps we could bring that, too. Or perhaps someone here could pick it up and bring it to you sooner than I could.(From Upstate NY to Ontario)

And as far as transportation goes, as you know I have a lot of experience bike-riding in the big city-o, so tell me what you need and I'll do my best to get some of the things you need to you.

I admire the way that you can howl when you are in desperate straits! I've always had difficulty with that. My own way is to quietly fade away so as not to be a burden or embarrassment to people who care about me. And yet it really is a double standard, for I am moved by your plight and want to help, along with all the others here who care about you.

Hes, without really being aware of it, you have helped me to live a richer and more rewarding life in so many ways. I only wish I was far enough advanced financially to really help you now, since I believe in your skills and your talents, and your ability to achieve your heart's desire given enough time and financial support.

Keep on hangin' in there! And we'll all do the best to help you each in our own way according to our means.

Love, ~ Jande
