Would you good people do me a favor? One of the most important members of the band I play in is going through a tough time. Mike Scott plays banjo and shares lead singing duties with me in The Conklin Céilí Band. Recently he underwent surgery to repair a ripped tendon in his shoulder. As if that weren't tough enough, it became infected and they had to open it back up and are treating him for staph infection. So far it looks like they got it before it got to the bone, but this is serious and he needs some cheering up. I am asking two things from you good people.

First, please offer prayers/healing thoughts for him. I am worried about this good man.

Second, would you please take a moment and drop him an email? I would love him to get them from around the world, and around North America. Tell him you heard about his plight on The Mudcat, and that he is in your thoughts.

His email addy is [e-mail]

I know how important this type of thing is on mental outlook.

Thanks, in advance, and all the best to each of you,

Big Mick Lane

Hey Mike and Mick, with all the business your band is giving that hospital lately, maybe you could get them to be your corporate sponsors or something...
