Got out of hospital day after Christmas. Lung infection. Don't know how/where I got It. Since I've been on here and called many of you forum friends for 15 years I thought I'd let you know why no Christmas song this year. Now that I'm starting to feel better I miss creating having fun with BIAB. I can't sing yet. I have a way to go but I believe I will be my musical self again. Meanwhile so grateful to be alive.
God bless you,
Josie Beck

Hi Josie,
I know what you are going through as my wife had and upper respiratory illness, then in the hospital with RSV and pneumonia. She got out of the hospital just before Christmas, got well, but now is on meds for another upper respiratory illness.
Just take it easy, take your meds, and get well soon.

You have an advantage over a lot of people. We never COULD sing. You are just on medical hiatus! Fight the fight.

Hi Josie, I don't believe we've communicated here before but know that we are pulling for you. Get well, get strong, stay healthy

You'll be back soon enough, until then get some rest .. it does wonders. In other words, don't push it, take care of yourself first .. the singing can come later
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!
