Tony ...so sorry to hear about your health problems, but glad you are 'still around' ...
I hope you progress well and get back to playing and singing ... I have your CD in my iPOD

I tend to agree with you that this 'swine flu' thing has been 'over-hyped' by the media ... I heard that 36,000 people die each year in the US of A from 'normal' flu but you don't hear about it ... I think one of the reasons the swine flu got so much attention is that it affected so many people in Mexico, where you don't normally have ANY flu ...

Our son returned tonight from 4 days in Cancun for a friend's wedding ... we weren't thrilled that he was going, but he is a fully grown adult (43 yrs young ) capable of making his own decisions ... as he said to us - "there was no evidence of the flu in Cancun, and if there were a lot of cases of swine flu in Chicago, and we had to go to New Orleans for what ever reason, would we not go???" ... fact is, there were more cases closer to his home in NY than there were in Cancun ...
If he had more time to spend down there I would have told him to drop in on you ...


Be well my friend, and it was great to hear from you ...
