Location: atlanta | She has improved enough to resume the current tour, and will perform tonight in Newport, Kentucky:

She recovered through a process of rest and hot and cold applications to the tendon. I spoke to her yesterday and urged caution, but she assured me that she is in fact "good to go."
So she may have ducked a bullet after all. Thanks to all of you for expressing concern, sympathy and best wishes.
Finest regards--

I couldn't help but notice that this good news came immediately after I extended my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Obviously, I claim credit for that recovery. Might be JUUUUUUST a little bit o'post hoc ergo propter hoc here...
Seriously though, great news! I hope all continues to go wonderfully well from here on. |

Location: Rego Park, NY, | Great news for Kaki and dad. Don't rush the recovery.
I had a close call many years ago when I was trying to learn how to ski. I caught a tip and took a bad fall. I thought I broke my ankle. while sitting on the ground the pain subsided and eventually went away. At that point I took the skis off and walk the rest of the way down the hill. I learned there that if the sport didn't involve sneakers or cleats I wasn't going to try it. |

Location: atlanta | Alan indeed has remarkable powers.
Last night she played the Birchmere in Alexandria VA. In this YouTube she plays her Holloway harp guitar (Stephen Bennett signature model); the tune is Michael Hedges' "Because It's There":

Location: Newington, CT | That's great stuff, Dave! I'm glad I was able to cure her so well and so completely! You'd never know she had only recently hurt herself. And that guitar is really nice! Her performances can be positively hypnotic! |
