I hope you're recovering quickly and with minimal pain!

Thank you, dear.

Every so often I feel some discomfort.

6.1 was the first time I picked up my Eb Bass. a little over 3 weeks post surgery. Playing wasn't too bad. I was able to start playing baritone after 9 days. For the most part, pain free.

Was rehearsing a solo 6.8 and felt a little discomfort. Keeping an eye on it.

My band is going on a New England tour starting Friday. I think I'll be alright.

Yeah, West Virginia could get a little rowdy. Best to keep it simple.
