Wayne,
I have , for many years, been a Southern Gospel vocalist and that make perfect sense. I will see if we can apply that for Zack. I also am going to talk with his new pulmonary care physician about utilizing walks in the woods (with a gun :-)) to tax his pulmonary system a little bit at a time, resting when he is stressed. Hopefully, this will also build his lung capacity. I just don't want to get him too far from the vehicle so that, if necessary, I can get him to an emergency room if his rescue inhalor doesn't give him relief. Zack's mom is getting a notorized letter of permission to authorize treatment prepared for me as advised by the doctors at Children's Hospital.
I may even have him work on a duet with me to sing at my church. I'm thinking about "He's still working on me", a song that lends itself to two very disparate voices and is fun to sing (besides carrying a great message). I am heading out the the local gun pusher to give him the addy and fax number of the ffl who will be sending Zack's new .22 semi-auto in, and then over to pick Zack up and spend some time with him after being down in NJ for Thanksgiving with my daughter and her family. I will see if he is interested in singing with me then.
Great suggestion, thanks again,
blessings
