You poor thing! There have been some really weird viruses going around the past few months. A few of us on the list also had the 6 week coughing that wouldn't go away, too!

I was joking just today that I would have liked to have been Patti Boyd because George and Eric were always two of my top musical crushes ;-) I'd heard that they all became good friends again and I think Clapton did some recording with George in recent years. > But I was wondering, is The Sun correct?

But I'd bet the other Bob may know the answer! ;-) They had a memorial gathering for George at Griffith Park today. Kakki
