Jeepman,

Could you give us some idea if Doc appeared to be in good health?

I, for one, would like to know whenever a catter reports having seen Doc, or Utah or Rosalie (not that there's anything necessariy ominous in being 70something).

Performers known to catters, for better or worse, are part of a family, and we'd like to know if they're okay.

Regardless of Age.

And does anyone else wish sometimes, when you listen to radio hosts talk with folks like Doc, they'd remember to ask, or mention, wihout prying, if they are looking okay?

Its a long time between visits for the widely scattered folk community, and we do think about the people whose music helps us cope with life.

ITS SOMETIMES A LONG TIME BETWEEN VISITS FOR THE WIDELY SCATTERED FOLK COMMUNITY AND WE DO THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHOSE MUSIC HAS TOUCHED OUR LIVES.
