Season's Greetings All,
Tony prolly won't get round to explaining Marek's comment so here goes:

Streptococcis Mitis infection homed in on his aortic valve and he was 
admitted to our Oxford (UK)Hospital the day after Marek saw him playing 
his trumpet at Bude Festival. He wasn't able to walk far but he could 
still blow!

After 2 weeks on antibiotics, the infection was held at bay sufficiently 
to allow for a valve transplant.  He was in hospital for 5 weeks  is 
recovering well , playing again and we've booked the Jazzdagen Alaska 
trip as a treat.

If your "significant other"  mentions that your ankles are swelling 
don't take umbrage, you might have a heart problem!

3 of the Big Bear Stompers now have a reason to be grateful to the JR 
Hospital Heart Centre so we're putting on a thank-you fund raiser in our 
village near Oxford on Feb 22nd... all welcome!
