Subject: BS: Supporting a Cancer-Battling Associate
What a crappy thread title. There isn't a good one.

OK, I know the first thing to do is ask the patient what help they would appreciate. That's ongoing....

But I keep thinking of Rick. We weren't close enough that I think I should refer to him as a "friend," just like the lady I'm concerned for now is not quite a friend but more of a close work-setting associate. (aaargh, boundaries!) But she is also a musician and, if I may say so, a sweetie-pie. So I think of Rick, and how much his last album meant to him, and how people who'd been a close part of his music life all along might have had some special touches on support I'm not aware of....

She's Stage4 and that's usually pretty bad. I'm not scared. I'm shy, but then I'm ALWAYS shy.... yeah, sometimes it's underneath where ya might not see it.

But anyhow-- would it make sense to take along an MP3 recorder and try to field-record her so she could hear herself and her kids could have it no-matter-what-happens?

Other music-oriented ideas? (CDs I know....)
