fellow travelers, upon having returned from our dear friend jesse_malin's benefit in new york this past weekend i had been experiencing pain in my abdomen which has turned out to a prognosis of appendicitis. yesterday i was scheduled for immediate surgery with a recovery time of one week. i am happy to report the surgery was successful with an excellent surgeon and staff. i really wanted to play these shows at thesaxonpub but look forward to giving you the best performance once i recover.
