Di went on Hospice care last week. Our house is in the process of being equipped for that support: hospital bed, bedside commode, IV poles, and other stuff. My attention is dedicated to that support. I might drop in for a listen once in a while, but not sure if I'll be posting anything new for a while.

But I do have two songs almost ready. I might finish them and post them soon, but that's about it for now. I'll reply to comments as I can.

For those interested, I'll update this post as things change.

Our thoughts are with you both.
Take care of the important stuff.
The little stuff will keep.
Give Di a wink, a smile and a gentle squeeze of the hand for me...

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hello Alan,
I'd noted your absence and felt reasonably safe in my assumption as to why.
You've your priorities screwed on right and you've much to do & have done around you making the best setting for Di's circumstances.
I look forward to your possible posts but am just as happy wait for them as I know they'll be good value.
Look after yourself please. You're all Di has.


Cheers

Dear Alan and Di,
I'm so sorry to read about this latest development. I wish you both the kindest journey possible as you settle into these new circumstances. Life is so unfair at times, and I know from comments made over the years that you both have had to wear an awful lot of that terrible unfairness. What I sincerely admire is the grace with which you work through these immense challenges that come your way. Honestly, you are truly one of the most inspiring couples I have got to know.
Sending you both a truckload of healing thoughts.
--Noel

To Everyone Who Has Commented So Nicely,

Di and I thank you so much. It's a difficult time, but we find a way to manage. Even with all her issues, she still manages to sing. I think that's what keeps her going. Music in general, BIAB, and the great folks here play a large part in her happiness. You have no idea how much ya'll mean to us. Again, a heartfelt thanks to all of you.

She's holding steady at this point.

Best to all of you,

Alan & Di
