Missing Members

[Karl Henning]

Good luck, John.

[Christo]

As I will be visiting Jakarta (Indonesia) in 2,5 weeks from now, I did think about Indonesian GMG members (I will even attend a concert in the Aula Smfonia in Jakarta with Mendelssohn's Second ("Lobgesang", Hymn of Praise) by the Jakarta Oratorio Society & Jakarta Simfonia Orchestra led by conductor Stephen Tong on Saturday 15 March.

I do recall a brillant, young (about 19 years old then) man from Indonesia with an impressive knowledge of e.g. Debussy and other French impressionists. I cannot recall his avatar/nick name anymore (but will recognize it when mentioned again). It must have been about 12-17 years ago. Does anyone have any clue? Is this member - now over 30 probably - still active here? Just asking.

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Hopefully, not too serious, as you say, and a full, fast recovery.

Good luck, John.

Thank you, both. I truly appreciate it.

I'm not sure where to put this, so I'm just going to put here: today I received some rather unfortunate news from the doctor: I have Bell's palsy. The doctor assured me that this condition will go away on its own, but I have been prescribed some steroid pills and must take these over the course of a week or so. Anyway, other than this, my health seems to be 'okay' for the moment.

This came about from late Saturday night into Sunday morning, I was brushing my teeth and all of sudden, the right-side of my face changed --- pain behind my ear, numbness in jaw and an eye that will not blink. The whole of my right-side is, to be frank, f****** messed up.

I just thought I would share this with you all and tell you that I'm 'okay' and will hopefully make a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear that John. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

This is a message to @Karl Henning since he has me on ignore, which I hope he will reconsider:

Hello Karl,

First, I want to apologize for everything I've said to you both recently and in the past. I'm truly sorry. You're right, I wasn't taking accountability for my own behavior and I should have stopped, but I willfully ignored my conscious and continued to just plow through without any reflection on my own part.

I have no idea where this puts us, but I do hope we can talk again or, at the very least, be cordial and supportive of each other.

All my best to you and yours,



John

A full and quick recovery!  I've known a couple of people who've gotten this: very much an annoyance.

Thank you, Karl. By the way, I've been listening to a good bit of your music lately via your SoundCloud page and am quite taken aback by your raw talent and the sheer ingenuity of your compositions. You have a unique compositional voice and I'm hoping your time will come.

The best advice I have for you is what was imparted to me as I began recovering from my stroke: a positive attitude is your greatest asset for recovery.

Thank you. I'm trying to not let this keep me down. Thankfully, music has been source of healing and comfort.

P.S. I've been reading about your recovery and it's certainly worth noting that it brought me much sadness to learn this had happened to you, but glad to see you've been making progress.

[Der lächelnde Schatten]

Very kind of you, warm thanks.

My pleasure, Karl and I meant every word.

My father got Bell's palsy his first week at college. He said it was not at all nice while meeting new people and trying to impress girls! But yes, after a few weeks it went away on its own. Hope that it causes minimal inconvenience or irritation and moves along quickly. Also hope the girls are understanding

Thanks, Brian. However, I don't have to worry about the women, they didn't like me without the Bell's palsy, so it won't make much difference now.

Get well soon, and look after yourself.  It's heartening to read that the great majority of cases of this condition are temporary and get better by themselves.  In the meantime, there's always music - you could try some... Bach?
