Mary Anne,
If you don't get any responses, there is an online group called freecycle.com. Register in local towns and request a recliner. You'll get one.

Jacqui has had her hands full at Mass General so no news on the shawl. Meantime - any update on the fundraiser concert?

We've collected OVER $1,000 for Michael so far!! Wooooo-Hooooooo! Believe what you want about the world going to heck in a handbasket... People are generous and kind and ready to put out a hand to help their fellows. (Gettin' a little teary-eyed...)

Jed Marum is working on the fundraiser concerts--and he's been on the road. It looks now like there will be several fund-raiser events at local pubs (Trinity Hall in Dallas for one, maybe Lochrann's in north Dallas) where some musicians will donate their time and we'll pass the tip jar often!!

Also a friend of Michael's who has several recordings of Michael from over the years has received Michael's permission to put those into a new compilation... so watch for A NEW CD on the Web page or at the North Texas Irish Festival (he hopes to have it ready by then...).

I am going to give Kelly a call this afternoon to check on them. I'll keep y'all posted.

Remember: http://michaelwilliamharrison.com Every little bit adds up. It's awesome what folks can do, one $20 gift at a time!

Later,
Mary Anne

Mary Anne and I have been in touch regarding the CD auction, and we're agreed it should wait till the shawl auction is done.

Thanks to Jed for notifying us, and to Mary Anne and everyone who's posting updates.   I am hoping I get a chance to hear Michael do "The Wreck" once again in many months when he's healed, and hope it's on the new album in progress!

Do go to the link and buy a CD, guys, it's quick and helpful. I just ordered one of his solo album and the "For Kids of All Ages" one.   

I can testify the "Kids" disc is a lot of fun if you want to have some happy music playing around your house. Sent it to relatives, called up a week later and they were singing and dancing to it all Christmas week.

Michael's home from the hospital. I don't know any more; just got a text message from Kelly. But, HOORAY!! He's still got lots of chemo and radiation ahead of him, but at least he's not stuck in a hospital bed.

Thanks for the "testimonial" Patty. Both CDs are GREAT fun... and remember, folks, Christmas is only some 300+ days away. :-)

Cheers,
MA

MaryAnne, I received word today of another auction planned. Sequentially as we've discussed. (I imagine it will be announced here when it's ready to go.)

Oh, hey! Another auction sounds FABULOUS! You guys rock. We can't do the medical work necessary to "fix" his cancer, but if we can pay a bill or two for him along the way, I'd say we're making a difference.
Cheers.

Guest Mary Anne.
I want to get in touch with someone close. It looks as if you are one of these persons but you come in as a guest so I can't write you a personal note. Can you suggest someone?

You can email her via the FoMWH website. Follow the link in opening post to that site, and there's an email link there.

Heard from Kelly yesterday. Michael's been having a rough time of it; they spent most of yesterday at the emergency department. But... he's back home, again. Keep them in your thoughts.

Wow - I am so moved by all the attention this disease has sent my way.
I cannot but thank everyone with my whole heart who has gone to bat for me since this treatment program started - I just don't really know what to say except, "Thank You, so very, very much."

I cannot thank you all individually for your prayers and comments of hope and promise for fear that my strength will wane into gibberish and nonsense, which, according to some, would be normal, but please
know that I appreciate each and every MC'er out there. Let us all pray for those of our community who are suffering, in hopes that they will overcome their affliction and rise again.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Love from Texas,...............................Michael Harrison

Did you sort out getting a recliner? I've seen a couple on Craig's List this week. (I saw one last week at the curb, but didn't think anyone would appreciate that one, considering the state it was in. . . )

Just thought I'd pop in and let you know that Michael is doing much better... Just keep him in your thoughts!
And, watch for "Friends of MWH" at the North Texas Irish Festival next weekend (March 6 and 7) near the Cashel stage.

I visited with Michael some over the weekend and he's looking good. But I think that today he goes in for the next round of chemo, so keep him in your thoughts.

Thanks Mary Anne, but the doctors decided to give me another week of rest and moved the next chemo day to Monday, the 8th. I am very happy to let folks know that the nodes in my neck and the other affected areas were shrunken greatly by the first dose of chemo - and that, is very good news. Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts and remember all the Catter's and their friends who are in need of prayers. Cheers,........................Harrison

Michael, I've been really enjoying listening to your 'First Time' CD.   Absolutely love the original song "One More Ride", and how suitable for all those of us who are not on our first fresh outing. Anybody looking for a new and hopeful song in the vein of Mary Ellen Carter need to give a listen.

Now back to our regularly scheduled program of work, chores, and family illnesses....

Patty, "One More Ride" is great, isn't it? It's one of my favorites on that CD.

Would it be wrong to take this chance to remind you all that you can buy this great CD (First Time 'round)-- or make a donation -- at the Web site we set up to help Michael out once we found out about his cancer? :-) http://michaelwilliamharrison.com

I really think any 'folkie' would love that CD.

From what I've heard, the 2nd round of chemo was pretty rough, too. But the man is hangin' in. So, continue to keep him and Kelly in your thoughts.
