I'm sure most of you know Bassman Jerry from a number of busking videos that I have posted. This afternoon, I got a call from Jerry’s wife to let me know that he had a heart attack and had been flown to a nearby hospital for treatment. He had a stent implanted in a heart artery to open some serious blockage. I called him earlier this evening and we talked a little bit about his ordeal, but mostly discussed the latest song that we are working on. That’s probably appropriate for a couple of music heads like us. His lovely wife will be delivering his computer to him tomorrow and I thought this would be a great opportunity for the TG community to show support and get well wishes to a fellow musician. So, tack on a note to this thread and I’ll point him toward it so he can read it when he gets his computer.
Thank-you to everyone,

Thanks for letting us know Hydro.
Jerry,
I'm sorry to hear you've been knocked down by your ticker. I hope you're up and playing before you know it. I LOVE your videos and your bass playing is a source of inspiration. It's so obvious that you love what you do and you're so good at it. The fun you guys look like you're having is meaning of life stuff.
All the best. Take it easy. And I hope we see you playing real soon.
Michele
