"I read the news today oh boy" the beatles

"the people in your life are like pillars on your porch...sometimes they hold you up ....sometimes they lean on you...sometimes it's enough to know they are standing by". (shain)

Well....I did get the call tuesday night and I feel like I was waiting for the jury to bring back a verdict...I was found guilty ....sentenced to 4 months of chemotherapy followed by a "we will talk after that"........do not know when the sentence will start and I have no power to appeal...stay tuned

I have been saying all along i am "the lucky one" as vansman said in yesterdays comments..i am surrounded by love,understanding,compassion,fun,drama & music every day ....i have the greatest friends and family a man could ask for....it is from the heart i say this i do not stand alone in this battle.... to my family..susan,casey & chris ..........to my brothers ...my cousins...nieces & nephews to my buddies in the carolinas.....to my bandmates in the north and south...to my friends in israel...calif,,,new mexico..new york,,,,and just about every state in the country... ...to my customers and the co-workers i look foward to working with all the time....to the sales team/ friends that makes me look good (or bad) every day...to my other brothers of the road... stewart,ron,kev m,adam,mike,jeremy....to blue sky ,amigaz, fad treasures, soundtraxs , joe blow,be as you are,loose lucys ,nelson ,mullet and rainbows....to steve and susie for their compassion for family...to scott & amy, jeff & cindy,ron and sharon, Lonnie & marsha for always knowing what to say ........ and to my angels..michele,susan k & felicia whom i could never live without

I love you all for making my life worth living

I keep thinking of the church in New Mexico. . . The one I told you about when Casey was diagnosed. I wish I could go there and get you some dirt, but we both know that's not where the true power lies anyways. I've been honored to witness your courage and strength over the years and I know you don't need a handful of dirt to beat this. It's your knowledge of the energy that exists there and everywhere that will keep you strong. I'm grateful for the love and support you feel around you. Know that I too am thinking of you every day, my friend.
With love,
Brigitte

...think of it all as just "changing your strings". you'll just be playing extra-heavey guage for a few weeks, but after that, you'll be hittin' the high notes, baby!!!
keep the faith- we're all behind you.
