Ok, I had to go watch your performances.... You are amazing! I also started playing ragtime in the 70s :-). And I think it's really hard to play - you were great! Thanks for the update, and prayers for healing and recovery. Still trying to work out your camera angle, as it appeared to me that your hands were switched (nerd comment....)

Steve..so glad to get an update. I hope I'm signed up for your caringbridge page. I get notices on FB when you update. What a trooper you are!! Love that you're still performing and keeping so positive. Please invite me to your performances ..would love to hear your beautiful voice!! Stay strong and lean on friends. Also SO glad to hear your Mom(my 2nd Mom in jr and sr high) is still kickin'!! Please tell her hello!! Prayers to you both!❤ Shari Hecht Koelzer

Hi Steven, this is Alex's wife. He video chatted with you a couple weeks ago and then gave me your email address. I sent you an email but hadn't heard back. It sounds like you've been dealing with so, so much. I've added your name to my sangha's sick list. Please let me know if there's anything else I could do. I live in south San Jose.

Thank you for the update Steven. You are an admirable person!

What a great way to keep us posted on your progress! So glad to hear you are performing and sharing your ragtime skills with those of us who can’t keep 2 competing rhythms going on individual hands!!

Stay positive and let us know when it’s time for the squad to assemble for backup! We’re here for u sweet Steven!!

Thank you for taking the time to update us!! Thinking of you and sending all the good energy in the world 💜

Keep up the positive energy my friend

Steven, with your courage, candor, compassion, perseverance, wit, and charm, you remain as much a source of inspiration now as when we knew each other at Armstrong, now long ago. Thank you so much for sharing your updates. Many, many people are thinking of you, rooting for you, and praying for you. Godspeed on your journey to recovery!

Steven, thank you for your post, as you’re in my thoughts and prayers. I would appreciate the FB invite to anything where you perform. I’m sending you good thoughts for daily strength, comfort and peace,.
