Dear Greg,
I agree. ?I can¡¯t imagine how difficult it is for musicians of any sort.
But we will be getting back to listening and enjoying live music again.
I have had a very positive summer with my own growth as an artist.
I had two tapestry fiber pieces accepted into the Rocky Mountain Biennial at the Museum of Art in Ft. Collins. ?108 pieces were accepted and they took 2 of mine. ?Both of which won Honorable Mentions.
This is the first time my work has ever been in a museum. ?They even gave me a name tag that had my name over the word ARTIST. ?Who knew?!? ?I guess I am really an artist if they gave me a name tag stating such. ?Now all I have to get is the secret decoder ring and I will be ready to pursue my new career.

Thank you David.
?It sure looks like the concert season will be postponed until January, 2021 at the earliest. My cello teacher is a contract musician and he's had to line up a real office job temporarily. It really sucks for those poor folks.
Hope you are well.
Greg
Dear Greg,
I am so pleased to read this.? I can understand the emotions that must have been running through you.? I alway have a reaction like this after the worst part is over.? What a perfect place to feel those feelings. ?
I look forward to the time when we can start going to concerts together. ?
warmest regards,
David
Dear Sangha,
In a few short days, I will hit the 6 month anniversary of my stem cell transplant. With all the political craziness, terrible social problems and racial injustice, and the devastating pandemic, I wanted to share a little gratitude with you all.? So many of you helped my wife and me during my transplant time with food, transportation, company and just being there for me. I am profoundly grateful.
To celebrate my transplantiversary, I hiked and summited Mt. Sniktau today. Its trailhead is at Loveland Pass and is a very accessible, enjoyable hike. I was unprepared for the emotions it elicited though. On the way down, I reflected on my transplant and how crazy lucky I am to be associated with a sangha like you. I also realize how fortunate I am to have had such a competent healthcare team. I certainly know how fortunate I am to have my family.
I just wanted to say thank you. These are really challenging times and just know that you helped one person get through one of his darkest periods. I'll be forever grateful.
Here are a few photos from today:
Gassho,
Greg
