Lloyd — great to see you back on the 'Cat. It's been a long time and I gave up trying to stay in touch after several PMs went unanswered.

Sorry to hear Opal isn't singing any more — you two were great together.

Have the song circles at the Coffee Grinder fallen apart. I really enjoyed the one we had and the one I went to while you were in the hospital. That would be a real loss if they've ended.

Also sorry I won't be headed home for a while so we could get together to swap a few tunes. Maybe in the fall.

Keep on keeping on, buddy — the music makes it worthwhile and I know you still have so much to give.

cheers,

david
