Howdy All,
What follows is an edited e-mail I received this morning from Michael Rodgers [son of Jimmie Rodgers]
*Honeycomb, wonchabemababy Honeycomb, be my own*
Yeah - THAT Jimmie Rodgers.
The *bloodlines digest* he refers to is *Bloodlines* [sorta like here] for those interested in John Stewart's music.
I'll post 3 hospital fotos as soon as I remember how to do it. For now . . . here's Michael:

Hello,
My name is Michael Rodgers. I am the son of the singer Jimmie Rodgers.
I was searching the web tonight and I came across some posts that you made back in April of 2004 on something called the bloodlines digest.
You were commenting on one of dads albums "Child of Clay" and about his career and injury that he suffered at the hands of the LAPD back in 1967.
I was very moved by your comments and I wanted to share with you some wonderful news that took place last week that brings dad's trauma from the head injury full circle.
On June 28th doctors performed a surgery to remove the steel plate that dad has carried in his head for 40 years as large openings in his scalp have been affecting him for a number of years that made the plate visible in his head and was threatening his life with infections that could travel to his brain.
I just wanted you all to know that he is doing great and is preparing to release a new CD next year and has just finished his life story in book form that should be out very soon.
Miracles do happen and one happened June 28, 2007
Under the plate was revealed a complete and intact skull bone where three months ago there was none.
The entire hole in the bone which was an eight inch by six inch oval had grown completely closed with a new skull bone which was smooth and shaped to match the existing skull. It was perfect in every way and was the same thickness as the other bone.
The Doctors said that in 35 years of surgery they had never seen anything like it. They did not need to recreate a new skull bone at all. Dad was completely healed and made whole again after 40 years.
My father and our family want to personally thank everyone who has sent emails and well wishes from around the world.
Your prayers and positive thoughts were heard and all of our lives have been changed in such an amazing way. We cannot thank you enough.
So if anyone asks you how Jimmie Rodgers is doing please tell them that he is completely healed and is in perfect health.
God Bless you all and thank you again so very much.
I firmly believe that dad was healed and given a new skull bone because of the faith of dad our family and so many people throughout the world. Please never forget that prayer works. Prayer is powerful. God is Great!
Much Love to you all,
Michael Rodgers
