Thanks. I watched some extensive YouTube videos on the heart valve replacements. The technological advancements have been nothing short of amazing. There are total geniuses working in the background to extend human life. They get no credit, no "academy awards" so to speak, and are the forgotten men/women of socialized medicine.
I have met most of the team that will be doing my surgery ... I have never met a more positive group of super intelligent people. They exude confidence. Amazing, really.
I have a grand son who is finishing up his third year of medical school. He’s 27 years old now and next year will mark his 20th year in school. Then he starts his internship. He is already being worked to death in the hospitals, and the same will apply during his internship after he graduates from med school. His main focus is to attain his goal of becoming a pediatric heart surgeon and saving the lives of newborns and small children with heart defects. He NEVER talks about money. The only reward he looks forward to is improving the lives of the kids.
Can you imagine rebuilding an amp and replacing the caps using nothing but a thin wire going up the power cord and using a monitor to guide you? Here’s an interesting video:

I’m stoked that you are enjoying the Lighthouse All stars. They were on the leading edge of the West Coast jazz movement. We (my brother, a friend and I) spent many a night while in high school at the Lighthouse in the 50’s listening to these guys play their hearts out. Listen closely to the drummer Stan Levey. He’s one of the few jazz drummers who actually played music on the drums. I used to enjoy sitting about ten feet from his drum set just to watch his fabulous technique and talents. He made it look effortless. Frank Rosolino , the trombonist, was in my opinion, the best of the best. Also, listen carefully to the pianist Claude Williamson. A totally underrated and under appreciated jazz pianist. He did a few albums on his own and they are worth owning. As you continue to explore these guys you’ll discover how innovating they really were. I’d suggest that you try their flute/oboe album with Bud Shank on flute and Bob Cooper on oboe. Its more laid back but really some beautiful jazz. Check this site out:

Thanks for the encouragement. I have to admit, at this point nervousa maximas is setting in. The butterflies in the stomach are starting to feel like a flock of freaking eagles. Three days and counting.
