Hey Everybody!
Writing on Monday, August 5th, wondering what happened to my Summer. It went so fast, and, now I am back on contract for my job teaching at the Perpich Center for Arts Education. Crazy!
My big news, I suppose, is I've faced some health struggles over the past year. Most recently, I elected to have the right lobe of my thyroid removed due to the disovery of a 27mm lesion. The only way to tell if it was cancerous was to cut it out, so, I had a thyroid lobectomy on July 2nd. As it turns out, and, fortunately, the pathology determined the lesion was benign. Phew!
Recovery has gone well and I am hopeful that my singing voice has not been affected. I'll find out for sure on Thursday, September 5th, when my band- newly dubbed "the Adaptors"- will make our first appearance at the 318 Cafe in Excelsior, MN. The 318 is a very cool and intimate room that consistently presents top-notch musicians from the Cities and beyond. I am honored and excited to be playing there!
Due to my surgery and some other health-related issues, I have not played much lately. Most of my Summer was spent hanging out with Laura and watching baseball with my son Jonathan, who spent the time between his Sophomore and Junior years of college laid up at our Minneapolis home, recovering from his own big surgery to repair his left knee, which he hurt playing basketball with his college roommate. The Summer of Surgeries!
That's all for now, but, I look forward to getting back to playing and hope to announce a few more shows in the coming months!
Take care, Everybody!
Bob
