Greetings all.
It pains me (literally and figuratively) that I am dictating this post from a hospital bed, one kidney ailing, the other having handed in its resignation.
I’ll probably be out of here before Christmas, but I doubt I will be posting anything new this week on any blog.
Enjoy your holidays, spend some time mining the archives, and with any luck, I will see you all next week.
Peace
Larry
PS: Ray – thanks for the card!

Blogging from the hospital . . . +1 to you, sir.
Feel better soon, and best holiday wishes.
December 23, 2008 at 8:44 am
I join one of the other commenters in applauding your attention to the blog to post from the hospital. Now, get off of that computer and get well soon! And Merry Christmas, to the extent you can do so!
December 23, 2008 at 8:52 am
Sorry to hear your in the hospital. Get well soon!
December 23, 2008 at 10:00 am
Hope you get well soon. Love the funk and soul my brother. You are a true funk soldier for blogging from the hospital. Also, remember Mr. Soul Brother Number 1 said “Santa Claus will come straight to the ghetto” and grant your funky wish this Christmas.
Peace Love and Soul…
December 23, 2008 at 10:00 am
Take some time to rest. We’ll be here when you get back.

December 23, 2008 at 11:30 am
Oh, wow. What a crappy time to go through this. Good luck, and get well soon.
December 23, 2008 at 11:36 am

December 23, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Get well soon! It will be a less funky Christmas without you.
December 23, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Heal up quick, you hear? all the best for a speedy recovery.
December 23, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Wishing you a speedy recovery Larry,
December 23, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Forget about the blog for a bit and have much needed rest. We can all wait ! We can all be busy going back to the archives for years to come. I wish you a speedy recovery and will keep you in our prayers this christmas.
December 23, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Take care of yourself, Larry. Get out of there soon, and relax and enjoy some family time. Give the blog a rest for awhile–we’ll still be here when you’re ready. God Bless.
December 23, 2008 at 1:47 pm

December 23, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Get better quick Larry! I hear that sporting a pool-shaped kidney is one of the funkiest fashion-forward ideas for 2009 . . .
December 23, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Get well soon to keep it all funky!
December 23, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I hope you get well soon man. You’ve made all of our lives a little funkier over the years, so best wishes to you and all of yours.

Larry, take it easy and get well soon.
December 23, 2008 at 7:59 pm
You and I have never met and yet when I read that you have fallen ill I am filled with an overwhelming sense of concern. You have single handedly introduced me to more good musicians than any radio station, top 40 presenter, music magazine, blog, venue or friend ever has and for that I am eternally grateful. Music (particularly soul, funk, afrobeat & reggae) is the perpetual soundtrack to my life and that means that each day you have contributed to my life being that much better. As a stranger who owes you a debt that is beyond value I am letting you know that I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery through this ordeal and hope you are back on your feet in no time. And in the wise words of some previous posters enough work get some rest we’ll all be here when you get back. All the best stranger.
December 23, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I thought it was odd when you missed your regular weekend post, which you deliver like clockwork..
maybe your cold had caught up with you again, or you got caught up in the holidays..
I still can’t figure out how you do it all
Get well, we’ll be here to hear your story when you return
Merry Christmas to you and your family Larry!
December 23, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Larry, I don’t know how restful your condition is allowed to be, but whatever rest and recuperation you can get now is truly well-earned. Within your family a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year.
December 23, 2008 at 9:59 pm
And that’s Wishing, not Within, but the tune’s still the same!

[…] Funky16Corners Is Sick! (Funky16Corners) Larry, the funkmaster at Funky16Corners and Iron Leg, is sick with unspecified kidney problems. (tags: sad) […]
December 23, 2008 at 11:19 pm

rest, come back to this when you’re feeling better…
*kiss* [to help with the feeling better]…

My sister had kidney issues for years, and finally gave up on one of hers, too. It hurts so much when they don’t work right! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. In exchange for thinking so well about your readers and writing to us from the hospital, I hope you will accept all of our good healing vibes for a speedy recovery.
December 24, 2008 at 1:47 am
Get well and have a happy holidays! We’ll survive (for a little while) without you…get some well needed rest!
