Just to say Hi.  I have been hospitalised for five months after a
massive heart attack.  I am presently awaiting to be called for a
transplant and have a mechanical heart fitted at this moment which
allows me to do most things until that day comes.

Therefore, if you have not heard from me, that is the reason.  Please
feel free to contact me as at present I don't get out that much, as
I have to have someone with me 24 hours a day.  So no restoring my
instruments.  The Welte push-up will have to wait !

Funnily enough the pump works from either electric or a pneumatic
supply as it pumps blood via a diaphragm.  A kind of Duo Heart (Sorry) !
