Jerry/Ken -
As of this Day April 6th JD says HI and he's doing fine One Day at a Time..This is an email Mar 26th from our partner and great friend Jerry Darlak, many folks have heard Jerry is ill and of course rumors grow and uniformed folks add their own....stories. As Jerry states he is doing great just yesterday we had a rehearsal keeping him up to date with our new material. Jerry is anxious yet cautious regarding his return. Upon completion of his treatments we will let you know his condition. I also would like to thank all the well wishers on fbk etc and the net for their heartfelt words of encouragement, and special thanks to the box and keyboard players for their help while JD is out. We will all keep you informed. Stay in TOUCH

Dear polka friends,
To set the record straight, yes I do have cancer located in the neck area. I am currently undergoing chemo which will be followed by radiation and the doctors assured me that I have a 90% chance of a full recovery providing I do what they say....which I am doing. I would like to thank the musicians who are helping TOUCH during this period of time. I would also like to thank all you people for your thoughts and prayers. It'll be a few months until I'm back on the job and I am looking forward to seeing you all then.
Sincerely,
Jerry
PS: From Joyce: Aside from driving me crazy, Jerry is doing fine. He still hasn't lost his sense of humor or appetite but he did lose all his hair. He kind of looks like Mr. Clean!
