David Boots, my friend and a former Listmember, has created a website with
the best of his writings about his life with Parkinson's Disease.
The website address is:
http: //www.sonic.net/~bootst3k/
Included are his Open Letter to God, and his tales of his alter ego Chris
Kinesia.
Reading his work makes me angry -- not at David, but at Parkinson's for
robbing a musician of the tools that he needs to do his work. It also
makes me marvel -- that he, like many other people with Parkinson's, have
turned to "wordsmithing", composing many compelling variations on the
theme of PD.
He would like to receive feedback. On the website, his e-mail address is
spelled out phonetically (to reduce "spam"). The actual address is:
[log in to unmask]
Mary Yost, [log in to unmask], 51, diagnosed 1990
