Hi Michael, I don't know if you remember me or not? We met at the 2018 LOCKIN FESTIVAL and you honored me with a signed copy of your amazing awesome book Instrument Head!? I had survived 3 cancers at that time,Vulvar ,Breast and Anal? I will never ever forget how much that meant to me! I have the prints I purchased framed in my living room , and when I have a new person visit it is always the first question they ask. I just discovered the Reveled book that you produced. And I look forward to ordering it. Shortly after the festival I was diagnosed with stage 3 throat and vocal chord cancer. I kicked another one!! But I actually gave up when I was diagnosed! Because I didn't want to live if I couldn't speak or sing ever again. They wanted to remove my vocal chords and put in a voice box, and I said NO WAY!! And I refused treatment etc. But after making that tough decision, I kept seeing your book on my table and hearing Tedecski Trucks Band in my playlist and I don't know who had the bigger impact on me then or you. Anyway, because of those 2 reminders of you all , I thought about it and said, Wait, No I don't want to die, I have to go see TTB again and I want to see you again the respect that I knew you would, and did!! So I wanted to thank you for saving my life! I went to see TTB during their Warmer Theater run in Wash DC in 2019 after I had 37 Radation treatments to my throat. And I also took a shot in dark while I was getting treatments and sent an email to them and I was blown away when I got a response back from them. I have met the entire band several times and have followed them as much as I could afford since. I have attended every show during their WARNER runs since 2019. And the first night I attended their WARNER show was the night that Kofi passed away about an hour before they took stage. That is one night I will never forget!! And I have been working hard on learning photography and video taping live bands since the festival and I have had a lot of my videos and photos published on the Internet on group sites of musicians and bands that I go see. And my love of photography began after meeting you. So thank you for opening up a wonderful new journey for me to explore and work on. I hope that you are well and happy! If you ever come to the DC/VA/MD area please try and give me heads up so I can plan on hopefully seeing you again!! Til the next time✌️❤️🎵
