It's amazing to me that so many folks were worried about Dave's return...I never doubted it for a second. He has waaaay too much gumption, will and sheer brain power to let something as trivial as major back surgery keep him down. Why, he was already schooling trolls not more than a day or two later. He's a force of nature...with a sharp mind and a wry sense of humor. In short a man to be reckoned with...I reckon. Welcome back, ol pal.

Sincere thanks to everybody who's wished me well during this ordeal. When the pain made it impossible to sleep, I'd grab the walker and shuffle out here to the studio knowing my pals would be there with something interesting to say and take my mind off it all. It's a true friend who'll talk to you at 3:00 AM, especially when you're goofy with drugs.

Welcome back, Dave.  Keep up the good recovery work.

That's often when they're the most entertaining.  
 
Good to hear things are getting better!

First day back in front of the computer. Yay, I'm trying to make some music again. But the narcotics are having a weird effect on my brain: everything I play is now in Am. It just sounds so...nice. Like floating.

Bit ... it's not Am!
You've got it upside down!
 
(Try it ... you might enjoy it!)
 
Nice to see you back and yapping with us ... hope all goes well here on in!
