Update on Fredbs wife Patsy

Dear Fred,

This is really good news. Wish your wife all strength to recover from the operation and very much success with the medication.
Its very good news that she does not need chemo and/or radiation which makes things worse for some time.

Cheers

Hello Jaap,
Thank you ever so much! Yes, it is great news not only concerning her chances for survival but also the avoidance of such harsh therapy and the months of difficult treatment. In a short while we will be able to return to our comfort zone in Virginia. Although I still own my home of 46 years in Baltimore, it just doesn't feel like home any more. I promised " I'll be Bach " and now I expect to be back with a vengeance. I can already feel the motivation to get back to writing that has been missing lately. Thanks again to all of you!
Cheers,
Fred

Hi Sherry,
Thanks for posting the follow up on Patsy. I, too, am honored to be in such great company!

Cheers,
Fred

Hello Fred,

What would the music sound like if it could express how you feel about Patsy's good news? Would it be grand? Or peaceful? Or ?
It would end happy.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

You said" "What would the music sound like if it could express how you feel about Patsy's good news? Would it be grand? Or peaceful? Or ?

Patsy is a diehard fan of Mark Anthony. She loves the Latin beats, especially Salsa. I am working on one for her that she is already in love with. The beat is there with piano, base and drums. But I only have "snippets" of melodies and instrumentation scattered throughout. It will take quite some time to get it to where I want it. I can't work on it here in Baltimore ( the sound on my old computer stinks ). I can't get the feel without six speakers cranked up and blaring in my ears. So, I guess you could say the music would sound "happy"....very, very happy!

Cheers,
Fred

Hi Fred,

I was hoping that good news would come in bunches and the news about the continuing therapy sounds very good.

By coincidence, the piece I was working on when the news arrived here is one that gets happier and happier. Take a look (in page view) and a listen. It's Prelude VI.

Can't wait to hear the Salsa.

all best,
mgj
