Bobby, another thing I forgot to tell you, my dad, a few months ago, asked for his saxophone, and we helped him get it into place, etc, and he played a medley of tunes for us, as we asked for them. It was such a treat to hear him play again. I still have not given up hope that he can regain some quality to his life, he is basically bedridden, and doesn't talk much, usually unless he is uncomfortable. Today, my sister was over, and he had a good conversation with her, a good thing to hear! He is on his fourth week of Mirapex, and is taking a small dose. Monday he goes to the doctor, who I hope/expect to increase the dose. Tell us what kind of music you play, (and will return to!) My son Andrew had two bands before he left Tallahassee, a rock band and a soul/blues band. A few times he had one band open for the other. He sure has more energy than I ever had! Tell us where you live, that may encourage those who live in the same area to be more helpful. Have a good weekend. Ken B
