Just to let you all know, I am back online after an absence of over two
weeks. I am posting this as several people have asked where I have been, or
inquired, politely, about open orders.

My Mom had a massive stroke over two weeks ago, and passed away just before
Thanksgiving. She lived in Toledo, Ohio. I was able to spend time with her
in
the hospital, and she was aware that I was there. I'm glad I could take the
time to be with her. I am just now starting to get back to work.

My Mom, Val Grabner, always supported my musical efforts. I can't even
begin
to count the number of concerts I dragged her to. As the only non-playing
person in a family of musicians, we must have tried her patience from time
to
time, but she never complained.

She even helped me pay for the one of the clarinets I now play on.

My father was a violinist. She missed him for years. Perhaps they are now
united.
