HogTime Ralph, thanks for the well-wishes and your comment on the song. Yeah, I saw the name HogTime and knew right away we were neighbors.
Thank you, Mario. Your prayers are answered. Well, I feel like crap and can't sit in my studio for longer than a couple hours, but I have already lived a long, happy life. I'm just glad I lasted long enough to hear the stuff y'all do with this BiaB thing.
Thanks, Carl. I missed a couple Sundays, but I'm catching up. Thanks for your warm wishes.
Thanks, Noel. Those days are getting better; perhaps in spite of all else those memories keep a smile in our hearts. I'll pass on your kudos to Bill, too. Thanks.
Hi, Eric. You are surely welcome, and thank YOU. It means a lot to us that you liked it.
You're the best, Janne, my special far-away neighbor. I am so happy to think of you singing (even to yourself) as you walk through the woods. Trees and rocks understand. You're right about what's missing, the "one big family" part. We live way in the country. Not many neighbors, but they are all good ones, especially if there's a need to help one another. It would be cool to think that this message would be heard in the years to come, as you say. But right now you are one of 8 people who listen (other than our forum friends), and it's so cool for me to see the flag of Finland that represents my favorite listener on the stats page.
Thanks, Tom, I was really hoping you'd tune in. Thanks for listening and I'll mention you again to Bill.

Enjoy whatever happens!
