Sadly time to semi-retire .....

As you know Steve underwent major heart surgery four years ago. It took it's toll, and with all the energy that Steve puts into his performances, he has recently had to cut down on the amount of concerts that he performs.

But don't worry! It is only a semi-retirement and he is still around. Just not so much!
