Best wishes to you, Ron. Perhaps a silver lining is the possibility
that your pain may further enrich your music. I fully agree about the
US surveillance/warfare state. If you sum the cost of all post-MD
medical specialty training programs in the USA, they amount to about 10
billion per year. Right after the Paris shootout (which Am Free Press
calls a classic false flag operation), our crooked Congress Friday
voted 40 billion of tax dollars for the "Dept of Homeland Security"
which is little more than a jobs program that helps Americans spy on
each other. Imagine what 40 billions could do to promote lute projects
in the USA--even the ukulele would face stiff musical competition.
Thank you for all your work.

this off-topic but important subject.
To those of us who still have an informed perspective on global
affairs, it has become embarrassingly evident that the very powerful
alignment of business interests and political elite in the US has
successfully managed to export its brand of "democracy" to every
integrative corner of the globe. This means that power interests in
the US consider the UK something of a quaint theme park and, yes,
GCHQ
receives its marching orders from the NSA.
A functioning democracy in the UK that runs smoothly without
experiencing a dose of fear and the threat of constant surveillance
amounts to a threat to the constant monitoring systems now being
implemented in the US. The NSA thinks of the UK as a test case, and
they are actively fomenting fear and promoting justifications for
increased police presence in other European states with functioning
social welfare programs.
Maybe it's just my fever and pain talking, Or maybe I'm experiencing
Hildegard-like visions of clarity. You are welcome to choose and
ignore
as you wish.
