Many thanks to all. I got up early just to read your kind thoughts. Incredible and heartwarming to reach so many friends through the Mudcat. I will focus on the positive ideas you have given me.

Thank you Jerry for your phone call, I was very glad to hear from you and Ruth last night. It really helped.

Thanks, Rick, but are you sure the Rick Fielding Trio with Kendall and I isn't three guys too ugly to be all in one spot?

Kendall you take care of that voice box, I expect to hear you sing danny boy next Getaway

Duckboots, I can't get that good Eufaula, Alabama moonshine up here too often, but I promise to take a good bit of branch water with it in the future.

Hey, Gutbucket', sorry I missed you...were you costumed as the dreaded, middle-aged GS 14?

Alice and Alison and Peg and jeanie and Amos and Mudlark and mmb and Sorcha and Morticia and Greg and Ebbie and Janie and Bobert, (and anyone I've missed) thanks so very much. Tinker as Bill Kirchen says: "I ain't never had too much fun". But I surely have tried...

Great appreciation and love to all.   Chance
