     Thanks. Still not feeling 100%, but I’ll just have to take it a day at a time, play within myself, [insert baseball cliche here] because it’s a long season. 😉

    So long, Levon. The beat goes on.

    As Dick Manuel noted “At one point we were calling ourselves ‘The Honkeys’, but that was a little too real for everybody…” (“The Last Waltz”)
