Hello, again. Visited Michael, and relayed all of the posts. I must tell you, that he has an indestructible sense of humour, for he was laughing through some of them. Could not understand the comments about being attacked, because he really related to 'catspaws 49's' and thought it a great parody mixed with 'somebody who has been there'; His words. I must say, he has quite a wonderful a story to tell, considering that he 'didn't care if he died, or not'!

The staff at the hospital, cannot bring themselves to understand, why his wit, and return with a quick, humorous,incisive comeback, comes before his personal well-being! Along with that, he wrote out on these form cards, compliments to the hospital directors, in regards to various caregivers, and included a personal notation to them, that very much touched them, some to well up in tears!

As so far as his physical condition, and progress, I was advised, not to report much, because he is in a period of time being very vulnerable, of getting a heart attack, though I can report, that he was brought to the hospital, without having one. But from what I understand, he did not have to wait long.

He says for Bobert, not to worry, he will get your CD to the radio stations, one NPR, one commercial, when he can get up, and into public, again and we made an agreement that if something happens to him, that he won't be able to personally do it, I will, personally!

Because of my schedules, and where I am now, I'm being welcomed at a private residence, by invitation, someone else may be taking my place with this, but until then, I will, assuming that we will be in close proximity to him. (At least within 650 kilometres).

I'm sorry not to be able to report much more, other that to say that he is in great spirits,' not out of the woods', yet, and against his physicians instructions, going into public, to play for a group that has been helping his grandchildren, while their parents, have been at the hospital, as a mini 'Thank You' concert! He is still taped up!and on oxygen, for Lord's sakes! And if you think I'm jesting, he's already made arrangements for some people to go into his studio, load his piano-synth, with sound reinforcement into his truck, and have it delivered! He can barely get up!

He wishes you all the best Spiritually, musically, and not to get lost into politics. He says he might be able to be online, perhaps at the end of this coming week. They will not allow him a computer in his room, and have blocked incoming calls. He may tell you about that, later. It is unbelievable!, but not in a bad way.

Until the next correspondence,
Slan go foill,
