I've got a friend who has been dedicated to bluegrass music for as long as I've known him. He loves to play the banjo. He fell victim to the same affliction this past summer. He's now recovering at home with his family after a long stay in various care facilities. The support he's received from the folks in the local bluegrass community has been nothing short of tremendous.

He's a very feisty fellow. He's faced and triumphed over many debilitating situations in the past. I have no doubt that this strength of spirit will help him in his recovery.
