Hello Diva JC, here is what my label says...Larry A Russell Eroica: I had my first swim today (07/07/09) since surgery 2 weeks ago...pool walking with back strokes, side strokes, and breast strokes but no kicking. It was great! I'm now able to move about almost entirely free of the walker. Standing erect and walking without houlding onto anything. I will have pain for another 4 to 6 weeks, and am working on full recovery within 2 to 4 months. I'm also thinking about our Turn On Records artist, A

Hey Diva! Vinx was a neighbor of mine when I lived on Vignes Street in a loft in Downtown Los Angeles with Maxayne Lewis. I think he was also a physical trainer. I referred as friend of mine (at the time) named Suzanne (can't remember her last name)to him for that purpose. He got up on stage at the Alley Cat Bistro after one of my showcases there. Interesting guy...Will try to tune in if I'm not at the day grind. Glad to know he's done well for himself!
