SOme good news, for a change. Celebrity bandleader, beloved and popular New Yorker Peter Duchin is on the mend. His son, Colin, reports on Instagram that his dad’s recovery continues.

Colin writes:

“I’m so happy to be able say that my father has begun rehabilitation…I have shared with him (via phone) all of the thoughts and love that you have been sending, he is totally moved and so appreciative…there is still a very long road ahead, but thankfully he is on that road and improving daily…I can’t thank you enough for all of the care, love, and grace you have sent his way, I’m Grateful.”

Music has healing powers! We want to see Peter back on his bandstand this fall, swinging with his orchestra.
