The Chetboard

Apparently Pete was LifeFlighted from Nashville to Huston about a week ago. He was in dire condition. The last entry on the careingbridge site was May 4th and at that time he was being prepared for surgery to get a mechanical device to keep him alive! Does anyone have further information? Thanks.

For those who know Pete Huttlinger... His wife Erin posted a rather long update on the Acoustic Guitar Forum. Basically Pete turned 50 on June 22.. Last Wednesday. He was released from hospital in Houston and they are currently living in an apartment with lots of medications. He is at least out of the sterile hospital environment; However, I believe he really needs a heart transplant for his long term recovery. Anyway, I just thought his friends here on Chetboard might like to know. Ron

thanks for the update.

This was posted today on another forum.. Pretty good news..
"Howdy all;

"I just wanted to drop a line to some special folks in my life and let you know that I'm gigging again.

This December 16th, I'm playing a concert at St. Bartholomew's Church right here in Nashville, TN. I'll be playing with Jim & Inge Wood and I'll slip in several solo numbers while they aren't looking!

Please check out the flier (1.4 mb pdf) for more info on the gig. I hope some of you can make it and if not, I hope I will see you very soon."

Cheers,
Pete "
FYI

That's great to hear! I knew that he was back home and starting to play again. It's nice to know that he's playing enough to do a gig. He was in a lot of people's prayers.
