I love you Dad, and I really appreciate this video.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks Seb. I love you too!

Gods speed brother. Your calm explanation of what’s going on for you is reassuring me for god’s sake. Fallowing.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you. Still hanging in there and moving forward day by day.

We're just dust in the wind. It's hard to know how we'll sway until it hits us, and the only way we can react is the same, doing what we believe is "right." Be yourself, love yourself, spread love and enjoy the ride however you can. I wish you lightness and peace ♥️

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you. That's what I'm doing, staying true to myself, breathing my breaths, making my tunes, keeping moving. I'm at peace with it.

[@derosabike]

Thank you for sharing this difficult news - KZbin just happened to put this in my feed because of your studio build and I wasn't expecting to hear your news, but thank you and Best wishes to you John.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you. It's been a weird experience, but I'm fairing well.

Hi there, I stumbled upon your channel because I have a 3036 in storage, waiting to be assembled as soon as I will be able to transform/build the room to put it in. But that is really totally unimportant compared to the issue you're talking about here. Sending you tons of good vibes and strength to get through this ordeal. I really enjoyed your vids on the 3036 restoration. Looking forward to see you finish it - AND making music on it! Stay strong and take care mate!

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you. Parkinson's has now just become a background aspect of my life (assuming that's what it is). I've had some progress on the 3036 and am currently waiting on parts for the power supply. There will be an update eventually.

[@esongsore]

Thanks a lot for being vulnerable enough to share such a personal journey. Thinking of you and praying for you.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you for the support.

[@candacewoodland3027]

Really appreciated this video, Dad

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you Candace!

[@meyerstreetrecords694]

Best wishes from England to you sir!

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you sir. I seem to be doing okay for now.

[@drewstephenson]

So sorry to hear about this, hope things go as well as they can.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you Drew.

[@georgephilis]

Came here for the studio build - glad I found so much more. Here's to taking next steps and hopefully this includes recording cool bands in this awesome studio. Take good care.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks. I'm waiting for more cool bands to arrive. ;-)

[@twitcheyspleen]

sending you love and good vibes

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you.

[@Trashpanda_404]

Don’t know you bud, but one human to another love you. My dad was diagnosed about 10 years ago, he’s 80. Got it from chemicals in Vietnam. My right hand shakes a wee when I’m tired after brain surgery. Understand…. You got this though! Hell between that and my epilepsy at least I can win break dance competitions! 😂 Always gotta laugh and look at the positive right.😊

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks. Laughter is high on the list of daily activities, and I have a lot of trouble being negative. It's just not my nature.

[@bsfilter8190]

God Bless you and your family and friends. I'm praying for you.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you so much.

[@michaelj.4187]

sending love and peace to everyone...

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Love and peace received. Thanks.

[@alansandeman1741]

One of the most moving and candid videos I have seen. I can only imagine what it took to keep it together. Your honest, encouraging but practical sharing is and should be an inspiration to many trying to process brutal diagnoses. Sending you prayers and encouragement. And wishing you good music.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks for the kind words Alan.

[@charlesrocks]

Hey John...I really appreciate what you do here on this channel. I'm sorry to hear about your Parkinson's diagnosis. Please know that people like me really appreciate what you do and we don't take it for granted.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks for the support. It wasn't a primary goal of the studio to have a KZbin channel, so I'm glad you find it useful, or interesting.

[@2shotDerringer]

Praying you have more of those moments where you're just enjoying your day without noticing your arm feels screwed up or whatever. Please keep us posted on what your doctors eventually come up with.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you. Okay, when I finally feel confident that we know what this is I'll do another update. It'll be at least six months.

[@2shotDerringer]

@@EdgetoneStudios best of luck to you

[@VultureCulture]

This is hard to hear. I am very sorry for what you're going through my friend. It's inspiring to hear how you're trying to keep a positive attitude.

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you buddy. I don't like it, but I refuse to let it define me. I've always had an optimistic, though somewhat realistic, view of the world.

[@georgepelekoudis]

Patience

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Oh I've got plenty of that. Thanks.

[@WatsonHouseMusic]

Sending prayers and love..

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thank you so much.

[@rainfallwoodland8479]

Great video. Thanks for deciding to post it. 👍

[@EdgetoneStudios]

Thanks Beth.
