Summer update

Greetings all ~

I’m now 2 weeks past my back surgery and feeling great. Thanks for all of the good wishes, prayers and healing thoughts sent my way! I’ve got some rebuilding of my left leg to do but I don’t hurt anymore and that’s a wonderful thing.

While convalescing, I’ve tried to remain reasonably productive. I finished transcribing all of the tunes from one of my new cds – Cool Tunes for Harp guitar just before the surgery and am now more than halfway through transcribing the tunes from In-A-Gadda-Da-Stephen.

And I’ll start playing guitar again this week. Watch out world!

Best to all,
sb

    Just checked the site [and signed up for newsletters], and am disappointed you won’t be at VCU in July… but am glad you are recuperating well, and we look forward to seeing you next trip to Richmond. And with the newsletters coming now, we’ll know how you are and when to expect you.. Get well soon!!!

    Thanks very much! I was sorry to cancel – but there was no choice. To quote Schwarzenegger “I’ll be back”.

    Just saw that you’ve recovered from back surgery. Glad to hear it. Take it easy and stay away from stray banana peels on the floor :)
