The chances of truly getting to know the writers, producers and performers that pump volumes of creative flow into our heads and hearts is nearly next to never and yet their writing, music and stage presentation has a way of shaping the way we talk, walk, live and breathe.
Then word hits the street of something not so sweet. Not our maker but shaper has slipped into a pair of normal everyday shoes. A date with reality.
Not just Classic Rock but all fans of music are endless with their support.
That being said an Eagle has come under attack. Classic Rock Magazine reports bassist Timothy B. Schmit's battle with cancer appears to be over.
We learned of Schmit’s cancer diagnosis last month, when his assistant told a fan site that he’d undergone surgery for throat and neck cancer following the band’s show on Nov. 12, 2012. Fortunately, that seemed to take care of the problem — as his assistant put it, “He does not need to have chemo or radiation. Now he just has to keep an eye on things every month for about a year to be sure it stays away, and then not so often.”
Last week, Schmit followed up with an update of his own at his official website, calling himself “way past due in expressing my sincere gratitude for the outpouring of get well wishes I’ve received.”
Of course, he’s been a little distracted with what he called his “disheartening” health problems; fortunately, after a three-night hospital stay, he was back on his feet and on the mend. “My voice is coming along nicely, and as many of you know, I was able to perform with the Eagles just before the new year,” Schmit pointed out. “So … All is good. The brief synopsis is: I discovered a problem and took care of it; simple as that.”
In fact, he’s already looking toward the future. “I love my work, and plan on doing it for as long as possible,” Schmit assured fans. “I’m chipping away at a new solo album, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear of more Eagles action in the near future.”
