How is Chris Knox doing?

pretty good marc bolan impersonation on first song which highlights something obvious about his vocal style that i hadn't realised before

So what's the state of Chris Knox? Can't quite tell from that clip aside from his clenched right hand.

I visited him at him home last time I was in NZ -- at least five years ago, possibly/probably more than that. He was clawing his way up from aphasia -- he could complete somebody else's sentence / phrase but couldn't initiate speech. His receptive language seemed unimpaired. It was clear that he was still the same old Chris I'd first met in 1995, but the pathway to communication was still difficult. He was painting a lot; he was quick to fatigue, it was clear that trying to communicate was itself exhausting.
Incredible to see him with his hand still on the faithful Omnichord

“Hospital Waltz” from that Bovril collection upthread is really lovely.

About time, eh. It's been lovely seeing people pop up and talk about favourites / deep cuts - what a catalogue!
The entire Tall Dwarfs catalogue is now on Bandcamp! https://t.co/qfyc9ClaPa An extraordinarily original band. If you don't know 'em, maybe start with "Life Is Strange" from Fork Songs and "Dog" from Dogma.— Douglas Wolk (@douglaswolk) June 9, 2022
This is fantastic news! I recommend everyone go and play their epic 19+ minute song Up from the album Stumpy immediately. It is the proverbial business and amongst the best things they ever recorded. A monster. https://t.co/o0b28nd1Gy— Alan Holt (@____ALAN) June 9, 2022
(also reminded me of Centre Negative's Emotion Is Cringey, the most heavily Tall Dwarfs-indebted Kiwi release in semi-recent memory, and not just because there's a Chris Knox cover on it: https://centrenegative.bandcamp.com/album/emotion-is-cringey )
