My job is to play hillbilly music for folks who don't know they love it yet.
Jane Rothfield contacted Ms. Verch and me to see if she could organize a GoFundMe page to help with lost tour income and unexpected expenses after my heart attack last week, plus my lost income while I recuperate. If times are tight, please just send good wishes.

I have never been much of a breakfast eater, but have to be now. I had what some would call the "Codger Breakfast." Oatmeal, a banana, an orange, and a cup of yogurt. Milky tea. Only thing missing was me shaking my fist at clouds in the sky. Tasted great. 🤠

U.S. Snowboard Cross Olympian Nick Baumgartner missed making the cut tonight, but said the classiest thing I have heard in these Olympics, "I've never had so much fun losing."

Got out of the hospital in Albany yesterday, and am hanging at a hotel for a couple of days. My friend Scott Hopkins is driving me back home to N.C. on the weekend. I am astounded at the outpouring of affection and concern from so many. Thank you from the bottom of my (on the mend) heart.

An update... Beta blockers did their job a little bit too well, and I got in a situation of low blood pressure on the drive yesterday. We stopped in Albany at the hospital, and they admitted me to see if they could get me a little more regulated before I travel back in North Carolina.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half time show was not in English. Well, neither are most of the operas that have been performed at the Kennedy Center. Oh wait. They hate those, too.

My new stent and I are being discharged from the hospital today. Heading back to North Carolina starting tomorrow. If you have to have a heart attack far away from home, Glens Falls Hospital is a great place to end up. They saved my life.

Had a wee wrinkle out here on the road. I felt unwelI on Friday morning, and ended up in the ER in Glens Falls, NY, where they caught a heart attack early. I am on the mend, with a brand new stent, and will be heading home to NC soon. Superb care at Glens Falls Hospital. I really am all right!

Hotel fire alarm at 5 a.m. Got dressed, instruments in hand. Alarm stopped. Fire Department said all clear, so I got a bit more sleep. There was a guy bitching about it in the breakfast area just now. Me? I am thankful for alarms. And, that firefighters come out in 0° weather to check it out.

An old friend and his wife came to the show last night. She has been in ill health for a long time. After the show, he came up and hugged my neck, and said that our music was the best medicine she could have had. I don't take what we do for granted. A high honor to play for her.

Ignore the New York Times. Trump is *pretending* to "change course" in Minneapolis as a ruse. Little has changed on the streets. Trump is just feigning a change in tack to placate Congress members calling for hearings and to wait out the horrible PR nightmare ICE has created for the White House.
