Wow, that is some story. I'm glad your lady recovered. It's pretty awful what the medical profession (not all of them of course) will do in the pursuit of profit; makes you wonder how they sometimes square that with their hippopotamus oath.
Your tracks still come up occasionally on my shuffled playlists, and I never feel the need to skip them. You really have talent and it would be a mistake, in my opinion, not to develop it and see where it can take you. I hope you continue to play and write, and let me know if you have any new recordings. I can't promise to review them - like you with the guitar, I haven't quite hung up my mouse and keyboard but they're more occupied with historical and other matters now more than music - but you never know.
Take care, my guitar god friend.
