[kj] OT: OCTOBER FILE withdraw from Prong tour

[fluw]

tinnitus is hell!
i've had mine since 1986-87, it has no chance of going away as my 
occupation is musician, playing over 200 dates a year it is a constant 
dirge that somehow finds of way of becoming thicker and louder every 
show. as far as repair or cure nothing has helped until recently i 
visited a cranial sacral energy worker whose treatment has proven to 
make some difference and has given me some hope, unfortunately the only 
way to make progress is to become independently wealthy so as to not 
need to perform to survive and then spend many hours with the sacral 
therapist. come on lotto bring me peace!
