Art,My maw taught me a long time back that a common human pitfall is forgetting to say to folks how much you like or appreciate them in the moment; because as had just happened to her, and she in her 70's, you dunno when that precious connection will vanish before you get around to getting said what should be said.
So let me say, having reviewed some of your posts back to '98, that I think you are one helluva guy, that I admire and respect you, and I love the work you have done and are doing; may it go on and on.
Thanks for bringing a true voice and a wicked grin to the world. And for adding so much laughing and lovin' music to it. You are Pure-Dee.
Warm regards,
