Look What I Got *MY* Hands On Today!!!!! (Page 2 of 3)

That is a beautiful guitar  can't wait to hear Bill playing and singing with it.

Hi Everyone, it's Dondra

Bill asked me to post this under his name.

We'll get him straightened out asap and he says he and I will join all of our Chordie Family for Christmas and New Years, come "Hell or High Water". Right now, we're trying to titrate his new blood pressure meds UP so he can get enough to lower it. It is an iffy thing, because we don't want to give him too much, because if we do, it is likely to send him into Bradycardia, so we have to be careful. Thank God he loves scrambled eggs and toast!!!! lol

We are each other's caregivers and we ask for your thoughts, prayers and "good vibes". This one is from him..

AMY! Your "Opa" says "Hey Kiddo"

And we both send our love

Dondra Craig

Here's hoping he is soon feeling OK and his blood pressure stabilized. Hoping you are well too Dondra.

Take care, Roger

We know he's all "twitterpated" about that new "toy", but best to be cautious anyway.  We know Dondra will keep Bill doing exactly whatever the Doc says to...... so can only wish you a speedy recovery there Buddy !!

Love to you Both from this corner of the World !

Hey it's me. Let me just wuickly update y'all on what's going on here, and thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

1. My blood pressure is out of control and my VA Doc isn't very happy, because up until Monday (tomorrow here), I haven't wanted to leave Dondra alone here at home to come and see her. She could come with me, me but I can't have her sitting up in a waiting room that long, so....

2. Since my blood pressure (at last check) is at 220/125 and the new meds have yet to "kick in", I've been instructed not to exert myself, because a b/p that high is a stroke risk, and we can't have that, since I am Dondra's caregiver.

3. In addition, I've been under some stress lately due to "family problems" that some of you may already know about.....

So..... I'm going to have "ride this out" a few days longer and I hope to be "with" you (my other family) on Christmas Eve

So, I think that catches you up on your pal, Opie and I'll see y'all asap.

Thanks for the love and care.

Bill

That's awful high.  Sounds like some time away from pretty near everything, with some gentle meditative music and sending your mind and spirit off to a happy place is in order.  Comfortable chair, long, slow, deep breaths, and some tasty herbal tea is also helpful.  Every day, as often as needed.  Get that BP down.

Ha ha.  I haven't seen or heard "full of beans" since my Mom passed.  Wonderful to see it again!  Ha, and Bill The Musicator is the perfect person to receive that honorarium!

Amy

So sweet of you and Jim !!

Bill
Hope all is improving and you bless us with a little tune, maybe a duet by you and Dondra.

That looks like a super nice Fender!
Jim

Dino, buddy. I can play the bass part just fine, but I'm having trouble hitting some notes (such as D) with my voice. I'll check it out, though and maybe play it for her birthday. What a great idea, my friend!

Your Pal

Ope'  (Who is still helping Barney find his bullet)

I do that a lot, Beamer, but it also has to be easy. Like D A G. Sometimes when I try to transpose, it leads me to stuff like B flat minor 7th sustained  augmented over easy and sharply diminished.

You are right, Enkelkind, your Opa "Opie" loves that guitar very much fer sure, fer sure.

I also wanted to make sure everyone "got" the  clip on YouTube? If not, would you please look at it again? It references "The First Gift Of Christmas" from the movie "The Polar Express", which is my favorite Christmas movie of all time. My little Fender (which carries the name "Amy" in honor of you know who) really was and is my very own "First Gift Of Christmas" from my friends Jim, Amy and Kids.

I STILL get chills when I play that beautiful guitar!!!!
