positive vibes
I am writing this sitting at one of our favorite places – Richmond’s Positive Vibe Cafe – getting ready to help them celebrate their sixth anniversary. Positive Vibe is an interesting place – both a fantastic and fun restaurant as well as a non-profit that trains people with disabilities for work in the restaurant world. It is the brain child of Garth Larcen and his son Max. Max has muscular dystrophy, and when I arrived at the Vibe about an hour ago, I found out that Max had been hospitalized for the past few weeks and that neither Garth nor Max would be able to be there tonight. Pneumonia,especially, is a winter risk for Max, and he has been fighting it once more this January. Being here tonight is bittersweet, because Positive Vibe *is* Max and Garth, and as all the musicians who are playing tonight (five bands, no less), we are sending positive vibes to Max and Garth. Your courage and your perseverance inspires us, and we hope to be able to celebrate with you again – SOON!

So sorry I missed hearing you at one of my favorite restaurants. This current season of life is just about finished and we’ll return soon, God willing, to our beloved farm. We did enjoy hearing you once at Christmas so that, and your new CD, will suffice.
God’s blessings on you, yours and the work of your hands, voice and heart.
