Sending Peter Rowan {{{Healing Vibes}}}

Not sure what it is, but just learned he's apparently going through some health issues and has canceled a bunch of shows.

I jammed bluegrass with Peter
I jammed bluegrass with Peter (& Maria Muldaur) at a Christmas Party in Mill Valley the Saturday Night before the recent holiday.
He sounded fine but he looked bloated and sort of "out of sorts."
It may have been the sofa he was sitting on but after a while, he simply slid onto the floor and just kept pickin' and singing, but he didn't look hale and hardy.
To me, another artist of concern who's health seems compromised is Taj Mahal.
I caught him with Keb Mo at the UC Theater in Berkeley last year and he also looked oddly bloated, and needed assistance to get on and off stage.

Best wishes and healing vibes to Peter Rowan. Here he is with Dr. Banjo and Tim O'Brien at Targhee 2012. I believe that's Charles Sawtelle's guitar.

Loved it when he warmed up for the dead at Veneta Oregon back in 82 (Oregon Country Fairsite). I never got to see Old and in the Way, but the Rowan Brothers were a blast!

Can anyone provide an update as to how Peter Rowan is doing, and or what he's up to?
My PCs are locked up for the rest of the day & Viva is the only site I can be at. Can't surf until like 2am.
Thanks

I saw Peter do a number of sets very well at Merlefest the last weekend in April.
I saw a great set with Donna the Buffalo - Pete and his songs work well with them.
He did a short set called Merlefest Veterans Jam with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Jack Lawrence and Joe Smothers. That was great, but too short.
Also saw him do set with his current band in the Traditional Tent sitting ten feet away.
I missed it, but heard his Carter Stanley's Eyes set was great. He's doing this again at RockyGrass and he's also doing an Old & In the Way thing at RockyGrass with Dawg and Sam Bush playing the Vassar role (Sam Grisman on bass and Bill Keith on banjo). That should be GRATE!!!
He's older than he once was and younger than he'll be. Seemed fine. Here's a closeup from the Donna the Buffalo set.

Jerry Garcia Band did the
Jerry Garcia Band did the ultimate kick ass tour in the North East in November of 1981.
Jerry & Parrish flew in Peter Rowan to open for a few of these shows, & as part of the JGB Panama Red / MidNight Moonlight show closer encores.
All of these encores with Peter happened at close to 2am or later. Being part of the Late show's finale
Take my fuzzy first hand account of these encores - I never saw Jerry Garcia so happy, when he introduced Peter and he comes running in from the audience with that big cowboy hat on.
My PC is still locked up, but I don't think I have access to these encores with Rowan.
>>another artist of concern who's health seems compromised is Taj Mahal.
Ya know I had given up on being able to ever see Taj, but he just booked a show out on eastern Long Island

I can see why, he always delivers and is constantly re-inventing himself. Seeing him play with Jack Casady last year was a treat to say the least! (even in spite of getting into it with someone for 20 minutes who wanted me to stop dancing and sit down). Easily my favorite "regular" @ TBF - by far.

If you haven't checked out his album My Aloha I highly recommend it. It couldn't be more Hawaiian or more Peter Rowan. It's just exactly perfect.

Peter Rowan didn't open for Jerry Garcia in November of 1981, he was part of Jerry's Band (as a special guest) and played a 2 song encore at about 4-5 of the shows.
Who are you..what region? What shows did you attend where Peter sat on the bench?
Here is one my playbills from that tour. Pretty sure I can round up the encores too.

Enjoyed his set at HSBG, which leaned heavily on the Old & In The Way catalog. He looked to be in good health and spirits.
