OK, John has had some bad luck in recent years. As you pointed out, Yuri, Buffy has been very ill and continues to need expert medical care which as you undoubtly know is very expensive. Then their health insurance was cancelled. They were on the edge of being broke so the Bloodliners got some heavy hitters (folks w/ $)who helped them considerably. Then while John was taking photos of horse races standing on top of the opening gate he fell off and gave himself a bad concussion. Poor guy, not only did he have to tour to pay his bills, but he was unable to remember lyrics and suffered from vertigo. As if that weren't enough, somebody threw a back pack to his buddy which hit John in the head and gave him concussion #2. Then last year he had to have both knees replaced which has made touring in Scotland and Britian impossible. He just can't sit w/ his knees bent long enough to get to Europe.
Yet he continues to grow as a songwriter , loves to tour, and has a great repor w/ his fans. A very brave couple.
