Just talked with StephanM on the phone, Randy (Saxman) was completely spared and doing fine.
Diki, the manmade, global warming stuff belongs in The Bar - not here on the main arranger keyboard forum. And, when you refer to as scientific facts do not exist. Maybe this would be a good time for you to actually look at the true science instead of political BS. You might discover that the world is not coming to an end, especially from Global Warming, the east cost is not underwater as Al Gore predicted in his garbage book, and AOL learned about meteorology while working in a bar in the Bronx. Of course, we all know that politicians don't lie!

BTW: In 2012 I sailed the east coast from the upper reaches of Chesapeake Bay to the Florida Keys, a trip that lasted 2 months. Baltimore was not under 14 feet of water as Gore predicted, and when I left, October 1st, temperatures were well below normal. One of the places I stopped at was Tamgier Island, and several other bay islands to spend a quiet night at anchorage. Most of these islands have stilt houses that were constructed by commercial fishermen in the late 1800s. These houses are the same height above sea level today they were when first constructed. Some of the shoreline has eroded away due to commercial soft shell crabbing dredging that uprooted the sea grasses that not only held the crabs, but also stabilized the shore from erosion during high tide and storms. No sea level rising in the 1,500 mile stretch between Chesapeake Bay and the Dry Tortugas.
Good luck, see you at The Bar,
