Hey everyone,

A big thank you to all who turned out for the big party!! We were all blown away by the response.

Sorry it sounded like we were playing in a barn but . . . we WERE playing in a barn! I hope your ears regain complete functionality. I am told by my attending physicians that my hearing should return by August. They also say I WILL walk again. But I still can't play the piano. But it was all worth it to see all you folks again. And we even played an extra 45 minutes just so we could get to sleep that night, and because you wouldn't go home, we appreciate that fact :). It was a memorable night for myself and hopefully for you. It was a little weird being on the other side of the autograph table. We signed many more than we expected. ( I didn't know ALL my family would show up. Most of them already had my signature on the legal documents.)

Anyway, thank you all and don't be strangers. Hope to see you in August!
