Hello All!

I have received lots of prayers and blessings lately in my struggle to heal from my recent medical trauma.
I've been told by the various specialists that I need to sit patiently at home while my body does its work.
That's the hard part now!

I also want to add my congrats on this forum's birthday. And thanks to those who are posting updates here
for me. Much love to all!

Here's the latest health update from Dennis.


"I'm spending the next 4 weeks, 1 hour and 45 minutes a day, in a plexiglass coffin of pressurized 100% oxygen to help heal me up and grow more viable tissue. It's a trip, ladies and gentlemen!"

From Dennis' Facebook page:

"On Monday, April 4, I inaugurated my new trio, Ataraxia, at the Benbrook Public Library (if you don't know where Benbrook, Texas is, look it up!). Me on conch shell, gongs, whistles, bells, vocals and treated trumpet; Drew Phelps on contrabass and percussion; and Jagath Lakpriya on tabla. An exotic cast to say the least!

Kavin Allenson, the curator of the Music Monday series recorded the evening's music, and thanks to him, here is the first composition we played, "Namesake", one of my main staples for many, many years: https://soundcloud.com/dennis-gonzalez/ ... y-ataraxia

If all goes as planned, this new group will play the opening of my exhibit (The Enigma of Divination) at The Grackle Art Gallery in Ft. Worth on Saturday, May 14!"
