He will be
released at the end of this month. The release is based on the medicare
system cutting off funds which has been providing him with 24 hour
healthcare. The next step is to out fit his home with a walk in tub to
enable his therapy to continue. With the suggested $10 donation for this
piece of music, we will use all of these funds towards his in home
rehabilitation.
Arthur's condition
Parkinson's disease has no cure and is progressive.
Arthur is
on medication which allows helps him to speak and swallow limited foods.
He is still wheel chair bound , as his physical therapy continues the
hope is he will be able to walk with-in the next 6 months. His spirit is
strong and he does offer us all humor, in the only way Mr. Blythe can.
The music
His voice is so strong here and this is a pure improvisation
by him.
With respect and sincerity,
