Many thanks Gilbert for contacting Johnny directly by telephone. I know that John has had health problems, and that his daughter Jackie(living in California) recently had unexpected health problems as well. It's wonderful how our worldwide forum here has turned into such a close supportive family. It's even more special when you can finally meet in person, as I was so lucky to do in my recent get together (last week) with Bebop, Clifand, and Dreamer. Finally meeting Bebop in person reinforced my feelings about him as one heck of a fun loving, warm hearted guy who's thoroughly dedicated to arranger keyboards and to moderating this forum.

I pray that John & family make a quick recovery and that he'll be back posting here again as well. We 'all' miss you John.

Scott
