With that nurse monitoring, I predict Brad's heartrate will be upconsiderably, so be careful, Brad.. Get well soon! I was just on your site today again.

Hi Brad,
I'll add my wishes for a speedy recovery.
You and your website were my first contacts when I resumed steel playing several years ago.
Hope you're back in the saddle real soon.

Hmm, surgery. . .complications - I can relate to that, having undergone some "complicated" surgery myself the past couple of years. Hang in there, Brad, it'll all be just a memory soon enough. Like everyone else, I've learned so much from your web site. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Brad,

I am among the many Steelers indebted to you too. Our Very Best Wishes and Prayers are with you for a timely and good recovery; Although I don't think I would make feeling good too obvious ...what with Rick's nurse in attendance "and all"!......

Aloha,
Denny T~

I'm another who, long before my association with the Forum used your website as the "standard" for info on steel and resophonic playing. That makes me one of thousands wishing you speedy recovery, Brad. So get well soon.

Add my best wishes too! I belong to a non-denominational prayer circle and will add your name to our prayer list.

Your website was my introduction to all things guitar and the entree to this site. And I'll bet a week doesn't go by that I don't refer to it re-check a fact or to gain new learning in an area that has caught my interest.

Get well soon buddy!

I've been posting his wife Roberta's emails on a thread that Brad started just before he went in the hospital. That same day, I was going to post something, but saw his post. I wouldn't have made the subject so understated, since is was and is major surgery.

There were complications today, but we're glad he's alive and in capable hands, and that so many people are sending good wishes, good vibes, and prayer.

How I missed this thread for so long I don't know, but I want to add my voice to the chorus and wish Brad a speedy recovery.

Brad, you're the man.
