..... I thought I had posted here about 5 days ago, but perhaps I never hit the 'submit' button ... I'm back home in RI after having prostate surgery in NYC and spending about 4 days with our son and daughter-in-law and 2 of our grandchildren in New Rochelle NY .... Our D-I-L is a nurse and her assistance was immeasurable ... My beautiful wife did most of the 'nursing' stuff while we were there, and resumed that role at home ... I can see she REALLY meant 'for better or worse' when she said it almost 40 years ago ... ... she has been unbelievable ... I had some really BAD days due to 'bladder spasms', but yesterday the catheter was removed, so things are feeling better already ... I could only wish I could be the last guy to go through this .... I used to think that God liked us better than He liked women because of all the tough stuff He gave them to deal with .... now I know He just waits longer to test US !!! .... I haven't felt at all up to playing the kn6, but I might finally get to it today ... Anyone hear from Frank Bez? ... Thanks again for your good wishes .... Keeping you all in my prayers, especially UD's Katie, and Brian ..... Keep makin' beautiful music..... t.

Hi Tony, GREAT to see you back and recovering well.
I just talked to Frank Bez yesterday and he's sounding good. He says he's scheduled to return home from the hospital today (or tomorrow). I've agreed to leave it up to him to fill you guys in on the details. - Scott
Tony, I am so glad to know that the worse part is over. Don is right: playing music will help you to recover faster. Your golf course is waiting for you. Ciao!

Good to see you back Tony. Take it slow and easy and don't push yourself to hard. At least you know your Keyboard is there when you decide to start playing it again.

Tony, Glad to have you back. I recommend going to Google and searching on "prostate humor." They say laughter is the best medicine and some of those stories made me laugh out loud.
I am glad everything went well. Glad to have you back.

T.-
Hope you're doing okay, buddy. As a matter of fact, I got a call to do an Italian Night at Turtle Soup in Narragansett Thursday night. Sang every Italian song I know, 4 hours worth! But, all in all, pretty good gig.
