That was a close one....

Well, 2012 was almost my final year, the last hurrah, the farewell gig to end all farewell gigs. I was wheeled into the ER, unable to breathe and passing out by what I found out later was caused by severe blood clots in my lungs and left leg. The medical term being Pulmonary embolism. Meanwhile as I lay on the gurney in ER, my blood pressure dropped like a stone but due to the fine staff at St Joseph hospital in Joliet I made it through that as well. So that being said, I return to the stage with one of my bands "The Last Envy" on New Years' Eve @ Cool River in Homer Glen, IL. To say the least, I plan on tearing the ever loving roof off the house that night since it could have very well been the "Joliet Dave Memorial Show". Cool River is located at 12622 W 159th, Homer Glen, Illinois 60491. Come out and celebrate with me!
