A Feb ‘26 statement by Mr. Fuqua:
“In Jan ‘26, I suffered a stroke. I was rushed to a hospital intensive care.
A couple of days later, they did brain surgery on me.
Afterwards, they pumped me full of anti-seizure medicine.
In a couple of weeks, they're going to do radiation treatment for the brain tumor I had.
I’ve been through a lot.
But the good news is I'm still alive. I didn't lose my memory. I'm not paralyzed.
I came home after five days.
I should recover completely in a couple of months.
I've been really fortunate.
I do have to rest, let my brain heal. So, I'm not going to be able to do this show as often.”

This podcast program is everything to me!😍
A wonderful collection of American Jazz & Ragtime from a century ago. My favorite episodes are the annual Halloween tunes.
Thank you, Mr. Fuqua.
I wish you well health and recovery. I think I speak for every listener: we love ya, man. 💖
