   Kate had told me about your surgery, glad you're doing allright. I think you know that I had a hip replacement and Fox Valley was going to be the first major performance with my new bionic parts. The Ironic thing is Juel and I had set up a good workshop schedule, without double booking anyone in record time. Now, if everyone who was committed to this year, can make it next year, we won't have to change anything. There'll be some bbq's and jam sessions happening, but it won't be the same.
