Where To, Bud?

Christopher is our Great-Grandson and he celebrated his first Thanksgiving with all of us today,  (Please click on "Read More" to see all photos) November 28th, 2019.  The "Star Of the Show" is presented in all photos, including his own, his Great-Grandmother, Dondra; myself and last but not least, his father, Julian - the son of our Jason, who passed away 3 years ago. I will post more photos after the Christmas Holiday. Thanks for taking a look and for welcoming Christopher to the blog. Bill

Hello again Hopefully, some of you are still following the blog and maybe some of you might even have thought I'd left the planet, but no, I'm still around. At almost 70, I don't make guarantees as to the fluidity of the blog, but I do feel I need to update you on what's going on with me/us so far this year, so here we go: Regarding the "Slow Train", I reckon by just being told I have prostate cancer, that I'm apparently not   immortal and I'll be catching that train off the planet when it arrives. Luckily, the Cancer Treatment Center Of America has a better than 80% cure rate, and the cancer has not metastasized to my bones, so that's a plus. But I'm dealing with a "double whammy": my heart's the other one. Recently, I have had what are called syncopal episodes which have caused me to fall and lose consciousness for a couple of seconds. These happen if I get out of bed too quickly and/or even when I'm active. ECG...

Another year older. More time spent writing songs, playing guitar (drums remain in the closet) and posting some tunes on SoundCloud for friends. Other than that, just taking the best possible care I can of Dondra. Best wishes from both of us. Bill

And this one has been a rough one for me and Dondra. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and the first without our only child and the first without Dondra's sister who passed last weekend. But even though neither one of us feel like celebrating we are thankful for the few friends whose shoulders we've been able to lean on all year. Especially my friends on   Chordie.com, an international group of muscians, songwriters and poets sharing our knowledge and occasionally post our work on YouTube or SoundCloud. We both wish you a very Merry Christmas and a great New Year. Bill and Dondra PS: Sorry for the few posts, but fighting these "dragons" is a time-consuming job.
