Hello Fast Heart Mart Frans! I hope this message finds you well! If not, blame it once again on the fact that we are currently moving through yet another Mercury Retrograde!
Back In Action After Surgeries!
https://www.youtube.com/live/watch?v=aZPugeHi3HY
Some of you might remember that back in February I had the harrowing experience of being erroneously shocked multiple times by my heart defibrillator. Two weeks ago I had two surgeries to fix the defibrillator. The good news is that both surgeries went flawlessly! The other good news is that I now have a new type of defibrillator that should not break no matter how many pull-ups and push-ups and could potentially be problem free for 15-20 years or more!
Thank you so much to all my family and friends for your support! Thanks to everyone who has donated to my Go Fund Me so far! On this week's episode of my livestream I will talk about my surgeries and my recovery as well as play some songs, including the Star Spangled Banner in honor of July 4th.

Other Gigs This Week
I'm happy to get back in action this week! I will be playing a senior center on July 4th, but that is a private gig. I also have a Virginia tour coming up from July 30 thru Aug. 15th and more info on that is here: www.fastheartmart.com/shows
Well, that's it for this week! Thanks for reading and for being on my newsletter list :)
