hello all!   Jerry I am so happy to have received your note! I am fine but have just been going in lots of different directions and I can assure it is nothing about the cat. Jayne is going bacvk to Ohio on TUesday to see about her mom and sister. She is SO tired of making that trip but sometines we just have to do what is needed. All is well with me. I have been playing a bit but not enough. I am frustrated with music right now. Not being stimulated musically but don't have the energy to go out and creat some new opportunities. On a bit of a creative ebb right now. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and a will be nosing in from time to time    jimmyt
