Jefferson Airplane's Paul Kanter says that he is back to feeling normal after his recent heart attack.
In a note posted on the band's official Facebook page, Kantner writes, "I am feeling quite good and semi-normal, all things considered." He adds that while recuperating at home, he's been "working primarily and quite fervently" on two books, a memoir called Tales from the Mothership and a science-fiction book with the tentative title Ice-Age.
In another Facebook post, Kantner writes that he's "seemingly alive and doing well," and sends out thanks to friends and fans "for the outspoken support and concern shown me after my 'illness.'" He adds, "I intend to be back playing music in a reasonable amount of time; when — to be yet determined."
He also reports that he was told that he had a "minor heart attack," and that doctors "did some medical work on me and got me out of the hospital in two and a half days."
