Morning all – Chris is much more stable on his legs now – in fact he’s made us permanently remove the wheelchair from his room! He had a very quiet weekend, which is good ‘cos last week we overdid it and exhausted him for the following week’s therapy. He’s been playing piano and watched a film with John & Liesha. We also spent some time Beatling out to The Anthology series. Next weekend I’m going to try & set-up some sorta recording/playback system so that Chris can start getting some ideas down for the Tall Dwarfs album – or, at the minimum, to give him a creative outlet for a while. His drawing continues to improve & we get some fantastic written sentences ala ‘In His Own Write’ – I’ll stick some on the blog soon.

The great news keeps coming. The early reports in June questioned his ability to walk again — glad to see how far he has come. Looking forward to any sort of posting of Chris’ material — drawing, writing, audio.
So he’s getting ready for the Beatles re-issue campaign ,huh?
Maybe I have something for him to listen to…if he’s using a CD player now,that is(?)!
Please let me know if he can use a disc player,thanks.
This is my cheer-up read! Chris’s recovery is news that gets better and better. Ah, ze leetle grey cells, zey grow stronger day by day, zey find zeir own way to solve ze problemzz.
It’s a great antidote to all the bad news and issues we are supposed to fret about.
Legendary man [ could be your real name ], this news just keeps getting better and better for selfish buggers like me who just want to see you and hear you doing that stuff you and us love so much as well as getting close to your family for all your loved ones and yourself bro’, bless you heaps and remember how many people are stoked about your recovery going so well and tighten that family love.
Praying for you all,from Linz.
Well,Chris(and friends)…
I’ve posted a gift of music to you from the Fab Four’s past!
It’ll have a “Black Plastic Sound” return address on it(in a bubble pack). I think you will get some enjoyment out of it.
