My job is to play hillbilly music for folks who don't know they love it yet.
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.

Still in Albany, but feeling better.

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.

I was glad to have the hospital I had since I was a 700 miles away from the Triangle. 🙂
Any other troubles, I'll make sure to head to Duke or Wake or UNC!

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.
