Frank, I was just listening to that song; listening again, now. It's a beautiful song, and John sings it wonderfully.

Get well, John, and get back here with us.

Frank, is that you? Sorry, I wouldn't have called, but we weren't sure when you'd be able to post, again. Thanks for letting us know. I am sure he heard the music; bless your heart for playing for him. Do you have any idea of what is wrong (that can be shared, publicly?)

Thanks, again,

I went to See John Yesterday...He is in No Condition to Take any Phone Calls that's for sure..He didn't even Know I was There..He's in a Lot of Pain and They are Giving Him Morphine for It...I closed the Door to His Room,sat at His Side and Played a Tune on The Accordion..
The One He Wrote,called We Love You Newfoundland..There was no Response..I phoned Today and the Nurse said There was no Change!!

I just called the hospital and the nurse said "he's not doing too bad. We're keeping him comfortable." I asked if he was able to take phone calls and she said no. She sounded positive, but, of course, if I were more than just a friend I may have been able to learn more. At least he must be hanging in there!

Cards would be fine, she said. Just in case you missed the addy it is:

OK, here's what I know about Little John.
He posts in braid Scots and of course is of my ain clan.
He lives as noted in the Irish domain of Newfoundland.
He was a Son of Erin.
He also sounds like Waylon Jennings AND Johnny Cash.

Really, I must hear this man sing!
Come on back Little John.

Great things come in wee packages, and the sweetest nut hath toughest rind...

You, Little John, are the curmudgeonly proof of both these sayings (and that's coming from someone who loves curmudgeons)

Don't know what color of healing you'd best prefer... So I'm sending a rainbow up your way. Mix and match as you see fit!

Shitfuck!

Little John's been my friend for a lotta years now. We met thirty plus years ago when he came to stay at the rooming house I lived in on Admiral road in Toronto.

Catfriends, I wish I could convey to ya what a breath of fresh air John is.....he IS a little guy, probably about five foot three and a hundred pounds.....but WHAT a VOICE! Sounds like Waylon Jennings or Johnnie Cash. We usta sit on the back porch til all hours of the morning yakking and picking.....those were good times. He has a wonderful sense of humour.......oh....and was quite a 'ladies' man!

Both of us joined the well-known band "The Sons of Erin" at the same time. It was kind of funny.....The band needed members quickly and although neither John (a Glaswegian) or me (Montreal born) had ever even SEEN Ireland we quickly donned the requisite White Fisherman's sweaters!! Big Mick has the only picture in existance of this version of "The Sons.." Maybe he can run it in this thread.

HANG TOUGH JOHN! I'VE BEEN THROUGH IT MYSELF THIS YEAR. YOU'LL MAKE IT!

Love

Rick
