I saw my physician on April 16, 2013. I am weak and still have pain but I am on track to an exciting new destiny. I will play my first concert in early 2014. Thanks to you, I'm on course. (I recently had a three-segment lumbar spinal cage-fusion surgery with six pedicle screws, 2 radiolucent rods, and 4 autograft bone implants. It will be almost a year before I can play again.) So I still need your help...
