Rick, best wishes from us (catsPHiddle and me) here in London too, you were so exactly like I expected when I met you( and so few people are), kindly, erudite, funny and one of the only people in the Universe that could keep me(a non-instrument player) interested for 2 hours in a seminar on "styles of picking"!!!!! Get well(even if its only to confound the medics), you can count on the support and love of Many friends We are all pulling for you and sending such energy or prayers, or whatever, to you and Heather
