We had noticed our 75-year-old bass player had been acting "spacy" recently and we were a bit worried about him. Turns out he has a non-cancerous brain tumor. He is in speech and physical rehab right now and will have surgery in the near future. Please send healing vibes to Rod. He is a"bro." We have been in several bands together over the years. .

@TheHorse I know any toumor is bad, but at least it's non-cancerous. That's a good thing.
