Quadruple bypass and Me

A few weeks ago I underwent Quadruple Bypass Surgery and am now in recovery. The operation went well and per my Cardiologist and Surgeon, my progress is great. It's so wierd not to be able to run around town to my gigs and having to walk so slowly during this recovery period only around the neighborhood but I see this as a new lease on life. My wife Heidi has been outstanding in helping me cope with the ups and downs of this ordeal and I owe her a tremendous dept of gratitude and I tell her every day- especially when I have a depressed period and snap at her. I should be back in the playing gigs form in another 2 or so months. Until then I have to walk and get this body used to the new veins pumping that blood around the body. I thank my dear friends Sue Wall,Dennis Koster, Jerry Willard and Gene Bertoncini plus my dear 1st Guitar teacher Dennis Turecheck for staying in touch with me plus all my dear comrades at MUSIC UNDER NEW YORK for some special get well cards. I want to get back to some posting of Guitar thoughts as I must take it easy so I hope that will get underway to lift my spirits!
