I feel like some of you here would be interested in this news. Please send out your love and support if Andrew's music has touched your life in some manner. Here are excerpts from a few recent newsletters: October 10, 2007 As you know from our previous newsletter, Andrew has been dealing with health issues for some time. His diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera has now turned into Myelofibrosis. In mid-November, Andrew ill undergo a bone marrow transplant. November 21, 2007 Andrew's Health TRANSPLANT DAY! Andrew is progressing very well. Thus far, he has tolerated the treatment exceptionally well, but we still take it one day at a time. So far, he has not suffered any serious side effects and his spirits are positive and strong. Today is transplant day... Many of you have written to us encouraging us to hold an Hour Candle vigil for Andrew and we were thinking the very same thing. If you are able, please light a candle for Andrew, today, 21st November, at 1600hrs GMT. That is when Andrew will receive his bone marrow transplant. Spend an hour 'with' him, thinking of him in your way, perhaps listening to your favourite Camel album or spending time with loved ones to celebrate the good things in life. I have seen the strength Andrew has derived from the love and support he has received from family, friends, and the kind words of support so many of you have sent. That support has strengthened not only his physical, mental and emotional state, but it has strengthened his resolve to get well and get back on stage. So please light an Hour Candle for him today. If you don't get this until after the transplant hour, light a candle for him anyway, whenever you can. Light that candle and send the strength of your feelings to him at any time. Thank you for your energy, your good wishes, prayers, thoughts, candles, messages, and for your love of this wonderful man who has much yet to give in return. Until our next newsletter, I send you all our Fondest Regards, Susan Hoover Camel Productions [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef which had a name of winmail.dat] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:35:34 -0800 (PST) From: Alberto Subject: Re: OT: Andrew Latimer - Camel Thanks for posting that, Bill. Andy's situation has been very upsetting. Camel provided some of my absolute favorite recordings and concerts in the mid/late '70s, and I drove hundreds of miles to see them every time they toured. Not only extremely talented, they were also some of the most unassuming and likable rock musicians I've ever seen. And watching Andy Latimer playing in concert, influenced me taking up guitar as a teenager as much as any other guitarist. Though much of their music may not be typical of Ecto tastes, I think their instrumental work, particularly "The Snow Goose", is very much of an Ecto ethos and I recommend it without reservation to anyone who hasn't heard it. Playing "Mirage" right now and other CDs throughout the day, I've been reminiscing and hoping for the best... Thanks, again... ~Alberto Bill Mazur wrote: Andrew Latimer is a wonderful person and a fantastic and inspiring musician. I feel like some of you here would be interested in this news.
