Just wanted to take a second to thank the great people here at VDF for being such a supportive bunch! I managed to get through all of my gigs with that bile bag, only to break the valve the next night. Of course, I was exhausted, in my pj's, sitting in front of VDF and trying to serve tea...d'oh! A cab ride later I was back at the hospital and things deteriorated from there. I'll spare y'all the details & just say it was painful like Céline Dion doing Zeppelin w/ Yoko Ono on Simmons drums. They almost had to postpone surgery, but long story short the surgery was a success on Thursday. I actually told the operating team that well-wishes were coming in from my drum heroes in T.O., Stratford, Reading, Chi-Town, Cali, Michigan, Prague, Little Rock, The Carolinas...can't list you all, but Thanks for the kind words!!
This one goes out to the fine people at VDF, a little Mojo Love. I was part of a house band about a week before surgery and had never heard or played this particular tune: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWGUkQeHCeA#t=166"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWGUkQeHCeA#t=166[/ame]
