Influenza A (H1N1) almost got me!

[Jean Pierre]

influenza A almost got me!

...as you may (or may not) know, I was hospitalized for an acute intestinal syndrome (migration of a biliary lithiasis that led to an infection).

which explains my musical silence for the past few weeks

..and in the course of this hospitalization I caught (nosocomial infection) a type A flu (H1N1 flu, responsible for a pandemic that led to 280,000 deaths...)

In short, after a month of infectious bronchitis, rhinopharyngitis, sinusitis, otitis and finally tubal catharitis, I'm better


All this, not to make you feel sorry for me, but to explain that, before this medical episode, I had started a cover of a wonderful song by Carson McKee and Josh Turner, two great little guys from NY.
The song is called Angelina and you can find it on YT.

I wanted to do this song because it's got some great strumming guitar playing, and a great solo by Josh Turn

Here's the beginning of the cover I did before my illness


...and I hope to finish it soon on Cover SC

Great to hear that you're out of hospital and I hope you make a rapid recovery JP

Pete

[chapperz66]

Glad to hear you are through this, JP.

Great song version too!

Paul

[Zoltan]

JP is back!

Take care and take it easy for a while. We don't went to be hearing about any fencing accidents ("you should see the other guy!"), or Parkour tricks gone wrong.

Perhaps just chill and do the Gainsbourg

[kenny mac]

Glad to hear your on the mend Jp, hope you have a swift recovery.

[Farrell Jackson]

I'm glad you are doing better JP! Hearing about your health episode makes me more in tune about living a healthy life style. Welcome back and I look forward to hearing your finished song. What I've heard so far sounds great!

[Jean Pierre]

Thank you friends, it's a pleasure to receive messages of empathy from you, from the 4 corners of the world...

The current residual problem is that since my right eustachian tube is blocked, I can only hear at 25% but it should return to normal...)

yes, I really like this song by Carson McKee and Josh Turner, I think it has something of the Beatles in its ballad register...and I hope to finish it!

lovely work here JP... yes. the latest juke box was lonely without you there...

I figured something was up but didn't know anything...

glad you made it through ok... and that your desire to play and record is alive and well..

[Ted]

You've been through a rough spell. I'm glad to hear you are coming through it. And thanks for keeping us informed.

This seems like an apropiate verse from a song called "The curious kind" by Rupert Hine
[Verse]
Through the eye of a needle we will travel(you did Jean Pierre)
On the back of a snowflake, rest our minds as they unravel
Each elastic moment stretching out
Into another one
And onto the edge of blackest night
To where all light must bend
