Brian McTear to me

I just wanted to say hi. How are you doing? I’ve been okay. I was in the hospital with a small bowel obstruction back in April. I’m okay now, though. ’been a little up and down as far as my lungs go. Sorta bumming me out, but I’ll get through it.

Are you doing alright? have you been playing music? Any good shows lately?

Hey Brian!

i read in the philly weekly about your hospital visit and your struggles w/no insurance. you are a brave man my friend. i really hate stomach issues, maybe even more than the issues w/my lungs sometimes. this past week ive had a cold that’s been keeping me down a little bit. i changed up some of my anti-biotics and i’m hoping beyond hope that i can get over it and it doesn’t turn into a hospital stay. i think it may be the change of weather or something becasue ive been feeling pretty good as of late.

music’s been chugging along…i’m playing a show this tuesday w shooting ropes at the khyber. we’re hoping to record an album within the next 5 years also i’m playin’ w/steph and the good problems at the fire on oct 6th. oh, and the weeds are recording an album late december. we’ve been rehearsing and getting the material together but no shows. devin greenwood is going to produce it. also i’ve been slowly taking up the accordian, it’s a really fun instrument to play, albeit confusing at times. i hear your bands on xpn all the time, do you guys have any shows coming up?

if you’re having trouble sleeping because of coughing and what not you might want to try valerian root. i’ve started taking it before i go to bed and it really helps me sleep through the night. i still wake up from coughing here and there but it really helps me relax and get good rest. you can get it at CVS in the vitamins and herbal medicine section.

it was good hearing from you, try and stay healthy and feel better. i’ll talk to you lata,

bob.

Valarian root! That’s a good idea.

Thank you! You take care as well.
