Al's already on the way to getting better! From his Facebook: Dear Fans and Friends, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love and support that I've received during the last 24 hours. Music has always been a source of healing and strength for me, and I can't wait to be back on stage, sharing my music with all of you. The energy and connection I feel when I perform are truly special, and I always felt that I can say things throughout the years with my music more than words can express. I'm planning to return in 2024, and I'm already looking forward to making music together once again. Your unwavering support means the world to me, and it's a driving force in my journey towards recovery. Please stay tuned for updates, and I promise to keep you posted on my progress. In the meantime, keep the music alive, and I'll see you all soon. With heartfelt thanks and appreciation, Al Di Meola ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Good to hear he's recovering well. I wonder if he's still in San Diego - ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

BTW, we don't need two threads on this, I think. Here's the other one: https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=131756" rel="nofollow - https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=131756 - can you merge them? ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

So he's in Europe recovering and not back home in California-- makes sense, though I wonder if he'll be able to continue with the tour. -- ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

I posted his FB statement upthread. He's put the brakes on the tour, and he'll be back in 2024. He needs to take it easy for a bit. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
