Hi, Steve! Rebecca and I hope you are feeling better. I've been hearing in my head your version of the Horace Silver song, "Peace". No one sings it with more heart than you, my friend.

Rock on, Steve! Love to Betsy and your family. I've been hearing you sing "On the Sunny Side of the Street" and singing along with you. May you all find some relief and rest. Big hugs.
