So good to hear!

 
I have been watching a lot of videos of him playing live recently and it is beyond me how anyone can make music like that. It is just so amazing to watch him go through the emotions of the music. Like with Lady Fantasy in concert Pressure Points, but especially on the one from the dvd Moondances. But also with many of the other songs, you just can watch him search for the exact right notes. And be amazed himself if he finds them.
 

And then Ice played in 1997, unbelievable, I just have to keep listening.

As a long time Camel fan, including some of the albums from the last ten years, I am very thankful for the good news.   I am looking forward to a new DVD.  Peace and goodwill.

The bone marrow is actually stem cells, harvested from a donor. The donor is given medication to stimulate these stem cells, and then they are taken simply through blood donation, much like giving a pint of blood. The stem cells are removed from the blood, and then transfused to the patient, that being Andrew. It is a strangely simple conclusion to a hugely complex process. In the end, a little bag holds Andrew's future, suspended above his bed connected to his intravenous line. It took about 2 hours for the stem cells to be fully transfused.

Finally, some good news, there is still a nod and a wink out there......
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
