Hi, Craig,

Thanks for answering my numerous questions. I completely understand your decision to lighten the load. Should I ever quit gigging, it'll be because the roady in me has finally had enough.......two flights up & down with no mid-stair landing, on icy steps and at -40 degrees Celsius....you really have to love playing to take the punishment, year after year, here in the Great White North. I may transplant my BX-3's guts into a lighter enclosure, this year, for all those reasons. My back is aching, in empathy, ;)

I hope your health challenges are now far behind you, you'll live long, prosper and keep cranking out such great, soulful and heartfelt performances. (No pun intended.)

Best regards,

Mik
