Hello everyone. I wanted you to know that Black Velvet is in the hospital. He called
me late last night. He went into ER with trouble breathing and a deep
troublesome cough. After they ran all the tests, they put him in
isolation room and all the hospital personnel wear masks around him.
They told him he has influenza, but that is not really saying much of
anything.

I will be calling him a little later today to see how he is doing.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers during this frightening
and difficult time.
