The recent past has been very trying for the pair of them and lesser people might have allowed those situations to build a barrier between them. Not VAX and M.....no way!!! To see them together is to see a couple who love one another VERY much and it makes you feel good just to witness such love between two people.

Thank you Keith. If it would not be for her I might not be here today. She's been my strength and will to live for as long as I've know her.

We don't have much to offer in terms of accommodations but what we have we happily share. Glad you had a good time here.

We've got more ups and downs than you can imagine but, with any luck, we will somehow get through them.

I'm am humbled and indeed proud to say that even after all these years, I can count on your friendship and strength, even amongst your ceaseless personal struggles. Happy belated anniversary to my dear, dear friends...love to you both...

'Tis true. I've know Dave longer than I've know M but M was more my type!

Dave and I used to play guitar together in college back when most of this great music was more mainstream and not a little niche in the musical chain of being. We used to arrange and play Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, and myriad others. I miss it. Even though we don't live all that far apart from each other, we never seem to get together enough. Thanks and let's get those TMB tix squared away before they all disappear. How about both the black and white shows? Consecutive evenings at the Keswick.


...and to all the other well wishers (I couldn't single you all out but it doesn't mean I don't appreciate you if I didn't! I most certainly do.), M and I both thank you for your warm and certainly sincere love.
