  1. AH HA!!!
    I think I re-discovered the ABRACADABRA that allows my comment to post! Only one time before did my comment fly. Then, I tried several other times, alas, to no avail. But, I think the magic charm involves signing in to the google account I created first...and then posting.
    Anyway, Bert, you have no idea about the heartfelt comments I have tried to send, only to have the "can't do it" message. And then I would feel pressed for time and let it go for that day. May times, I have been inspired to respond to your posts, touched deeply by your courageous journey. I have been a loyal reader as I've ridden "shotgun" through your blog.

  2. Bert,

    I noticed you are having a benefit concert. You should tell me these things. I have posted notices on Freeville Music and on Bert Scholl family support page .

    Let me know if the lineup or the schedule changes.

  4. Jerry, I am actually not having the benefit. Dustin Stuhr requested permission for the Americana Jubilee to be a benefit for us this year and I accepted. It was difficult to say yes, but it was unrealistic to say no.

    All who go to the benefit, please introduce yourself to Dustin. Dustin Stuhr is a good man and I am honored to be his friend.
