Ed McCurdy! Get out of that hospital right now. Go home and get on the Mudcat Cafe. If you ain't computerized, do it now. A year ago I was as negative towards computers as I was to microwave ovens. Well, I've learned! The computer is fun, fun, fun. and MUCH cheaper than therapy! Still don't have a microwave though.

You'll have a great time here. Sandy and Caroline Paton, Art Theime and Paul Mills are around. A couple of venerable folkies do some lurking and might be tempted to jump in for real if they knew you were here.

I even have a classical guitar to lend you for a cyber-song or too. The last time I saw you, you said my steel-string was not your cuppa tea. You did however show us some rather bizarre photos from a recent operation you had.

A lot of mudcatters (like me) owe you a great deal, and hope you start feeling better.

Rick
