So only a couple things have happened since my last post. First the docs at Jacksonville Orthopedic gave me an epidural in my neck to see if that had an affect on my neuropathy. Symptoms went down about 50% for about a day or so....so maybe. Another treatment next week. And I met a fun lady from St Louis who hates Trump even more than I do. She sent along her favorite cartoon.

So every year Crescendo Amelia gives a big Christmas show and the people around Amelia Island do their best to support them. I didn't get anything on video myself but Mark Barber who's married to Josephine Duenas Barber from Guam/Saipan managed to get some for me. Here's Reed singing I'll Be Home For Christmas. This is from the Dec. 20th show.

OK so I had a date with this lady down a couple hours south of Jax. Turns out she's a singer who likes to share her roughly made tunes with her friends. I invited her to come up to Jax and use our personal little sound studio at the apartment and take advantage of Reed's recording expertise. The only time she could come was between Christmas and New Years so she turned into my New Years Eve date at Reed's gig at the Alhambra Dinner Theater.

Another good anti-Trump video and very cute.

Reed and the girls and other members of the CABB were on WJXT this morning with a promo for their upcoming shows. I managed to overcome camera problems just minutes before they were on. They were cut a little short obviously with the need to pay bills.

Reed actually had 2 gigs yesterday. This is from the first one on the street in Fernandina Beach where it was cold and I didn't want to move from the one of the heaters the city had placed around the venue. His second was at a hoity toity club with lots of dressed up rich people. Didn't attend that one.

Cousin Ry Schmelz came to town last night and today he and I went down to St Augustine. We took a tour of Flagler College and its ornate dining room. Later we climbed the St Augustine Lighthouse and took a pic.
