For those of you who know "Byll" on this list (hammer dulcimer player and Burke whistle advocate), he is headed into serious back surgery on November 22nd.

Please keep him in your thoughts.

His hard drive just crashed, by the way, so if you've well-wishes, posting them here would be the best thing; he'll see them all in one place as soon as he's able.

Get well soon, Byll. I'll be thinking about you too. Back pain is a bad bad thing. I really hope they get you fixed up.

P.S.
The doctors will tell you not to play low Ds for a while. I know it's tempting, though. I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but for you, Byll, I'll offert to take your Overton Low D during your reconvalescence. Just to remove the temptation, you know. I'll take good care of it. Really it's the best way. I'll send you my mailing address.
