Was a bit surprised that no mention of Jerry's situation was made from the stage at Cropredy (unless I missed it, of course).
I didn't hear anything. Yes, I was surprised too. Paul |

Ditto.
Jerry used to be a stalwart of Cropredy, and although he was not in the band for long his contribution was significant.
I actually find it hard to believe that Simon at least would not have said anything.

Not perfect. Never claimed to be.

He did at the warm-up on Tuesday, noting that Jerry would be back with Fotheringay at Crops next year, an optimistic hope, unfortunately. However he did confirm that Fotheringay will be on the bill next year. Another source said that PJ will (hopefully temporarily) step up to fill the hole. |

Perhaps he was asked not to. |

Indeed, PJ himself said that on Wednesday. |

Whilst musing about the future of Fotheringay i assumed that, should they carry on, PJ would take over Jerry's duties unless James Burton offers to step in  but who to take over the Trev role, Simon would be a shoe in or maybe Doug Morter. Wasn't Doug supposed to be in the new line up, originally? |

Chatting to PJ before Cropredy, that was his thinking. No mention of adding anyone, saying a space was being left for Jerry.

Most recent update from Susan Rey, though a few days ago now...
" Jerry Donahue update...
Just a short note folks.....thank you all for the notes, cards, texts, phone calls..
Jerry is on the mend but, he has a long journey ahead.... but he is doing very well! and has alot of support from Kristina Donahue Daly, Patricia Andersons, Ron Crowe and myself...
Please be patient for info as Kristina has a very, very heavy load to figure out all of his personal stuff... and we are all ... so overwelmed... being there for Jerry and trying to have a little life of our own as well.....
But know.... that he is strong and doing very well!
Love and hugs for all of Jerry's friends and admire's for your undying concern, love and support! God bless you all! "

The latest from Kristina Donahue Daly. Hi, all. Sorry for the long gap since the last update. I've been putting this off because it's hard, but many have been asking about dad and it's time to let you all know the reality of his situation.
Dad suffered an ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic conversion. Every doctor who's looked at his chart is amazed that he survived. So, for that, we're truly grateful.
However, he has global aphasia, which makes it incredibly difficult to communicate and is, as you can imagine, very frustrating. His occupational therapist said she'd never before worked with someone with his level of aphasia.
He also has right side paralysis and his doctor said he will probably never play the guitar again. This being said, my dad has made progress regaining muscle control on the right side and we are not giving up on him!!
Dad is very strong and stubborn; he can do this! Please continue sending thoughts, prayers, and all the healing vibes his way. To those who have sent cards, thank you!! I know it means so much to him. If you'd like to, you're more than welcome to send videos saying hello, too. He'd love it.
You should also know that he's had a bit of agitation (naturally), but - all things considered - he's in pretty good spirits. He's working hard with speech, occupational, and physical therapy and, though it will be a long road, he's doing fine. Thank you and love to you all.
Kristina xx
P.S. Special thanks to Ron Crowe , Susan Rey , Peter Bellas , and my family for being unbelievably generous with their time and devotion to my dad. |

Poor Jerry, let's hope his hard work and refusal to be beaten continues apace.

It's just too sad. A guitar genius being robbed of his defining talent. Prove 'em wrong, Jerry!

Hoping so much that Jerry's recovery will be more complete than this latest news suggests.
