[Dixielandjazz] Fw: rocky update

[Dave Hanson]

To all our friends on the DJML....I bring some news concerning our listmate
Rocky Ball, who has contributed many insightful posts to this list.

Last Friday Rocky wasn't feeling good, had a gig on Sat. and was attempting
to locate a sub, when it was evident he needed a doctor FAST. His wife Becky
got him to the hospital where he had a stroke.

Attached is the latest from Becky and I know he would like to hear from the
friends he has made here.

Feel free to drop him an email and I will respond off line if anyone would
like their home address.

Happy Thanksgiving
