I have received comments from readers telling me that they are sorry to hear of my illness.
In the Epilogue, It is Ken Hawk (AKA Keyboard Man) speaking. It is him who is announcing his imminent demise. I thought it would add a degree of realism to the story by placing myself and TeNderLion in the story as characters. Evidently that addition led to some confusion.
The story is a product of my imagination and its characters other than me and TeNderLion are fictional. I am also in reasonably good health for a man of 78.
