Forget the platelets, it's all about the music in Austin

Here's a little sample of Junior Brown for those unfamiliar with this one of a kind artist.

As I said, I saw him with friends at the Cactus Cafe in Austin where he did this song, but the solo was much longer, and the hat seemed much bigger.

Got his autograph after the show on this cool poster they gave everyone who attended.

Hard to remember any worries when you hear music like this.

Austin. Music and Platelets

Life is sweet and full of music.

On a whim, after a vegan meal, went to the famous Cactus Cafe in the Texas Union at the U of T in Austin, and was blown away by Junior Brown

I love Austin.

Last time I was here I was lucky enough to Willie Nelson.

This place is a musician's paradise

Platelets were higher on Wednesday than 2 weeks earlier. Still taking the immunosuppressive, blood pressure raising, son of a mold, cyclosporin, but my kidney function remains good and it is suppressing my wanton immune system's wish to wipe out my platelets.

Still getting IVIG and blood work, but that means I am only in the infusion center 2 x month instead of weekly as I have stopped the Rituximab.

I am in a deep remission, deep enough to visit Austin and hear some great music

Just how deep will be determined by a bone marrow biopsy in a a month or so.

I am loving it.
