BLUESFLASH!

Words cannot even express the gratitude that Ron has for the avalanche of love and support that is rolling in right now! It is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then some. When the dust settles, Ron wants to acknowledge and give back to all of you WONDERFULLY GENEROUS people! (See previous blog entry to get the 411.)

Benefits are springing up everywhere. And then there is everyone ELSE who is jumping in head first to help!

John Lee Hooker Jr. is playing at the Boulder Outlook Hotel in Colorado this weekend and he
and the band will be passing the hat for Ron! The Sonoma Blues Society will be collecting donations next Wednesday for Ron. It seems like almost every musician in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond is offering their talents, and in some cases, their personal checkbooks to Ron. (Thank
you Charlie Musslewhite and Mark Naftalin!)

A mere thank you isn't adequate, so wait for the real note of appreciation down the line.

We want to let everyone know about two new benefits that we just got word of yesterday. They are:

The HOUSTON JONES BAND is dedicating their night at The Bistro to Ron's medical payments. If you don't already know about HJ, you
SHOULD! They are "high octane Americana" and tear the house down wherever they play. They are also super nice people....and well, that's rather evident! The Bistro is TINY, so come down early and grab a seat!
