Dear Hes,

If you need a decent MIDI synth and I find someone crossing over to the States (I do myself sometimes) I'll give you a lend of mine. So you can cross that off your list! Could help with advice or practical help on mastering/mixing at some future stage if needed (as can several people here).

Most important thing as you said yourself...get well, once that's sorted focus on what you're good at and like and make a go for it and the rest can follow after. And remember you've a lot of friends here even though many of us have never met you. Three years ago, I'd never heard of Mudcat, now I've met a good 50 or 60 in person and they are wonderful people, one and all!

Take care

Moo
