[Harp-L] Re: SPAH Convention

[BassHarp <bassharp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lorraine and I had a wonderful time at SPAH two weeks ago, as it 
afforded us the very unusual experience of simply relaxing throughout 
the convention. We were able to spend quality time with many of our 
friends, and meet new, without the grueling schedule of working in the 
SPAH Store (for her), and of playing constantly (for me), among our 
other duties of past conventions going back to 1973!

Your concern for my health was very much appreciated. While I could have 
played on stage with many friends, I was not required to do so. This 
then allowed us to focus on the shows and offerings of many artists and 
friends whom we had been longing to see for many months/years.

Also of course, I have received many, many notes of encouragement on the 
internet as well as via mail, phone calls from such friends as Tom Ball, 
Madcat Ruth, Tommy Morgan (the list is endless), regarding my on-stage 
dissected aortal aneurysm in Toronto on August 28, 2006. I am so 
fortunate to have survived this event, as many others were not, but also 
to have the faith and encouragement of so many dear friends.

However, the good news now is that my playing has been back to normal 
since December of 2006, and I’m looking forward to becoming established 
in another situation as bassist - not limited to trio format, but 
possibly also as a recording and studio musician.

So - a huge “thanks” to everyone, and I send my regards to all.

Danny
