Benefit Concert

[mapsedge]

If you're a regular reader of my journal, you will have read about the Main Street Coffehouse where I have played from time to time, and where aerie13 joined me for my concert last year. The picture/icon on this post was taken there. Got the setting? Good.

On November 12th, a small gas leak turned into a big fire and burned the place bad enough to close it for repairs for the foreseeable future. The Moddrells - David and Karen, who own the shop - lose the largest part of their income while the shop is closed.

On Friday night, December 8th, there will be a free concert to benefit the shop and the Moddrells, with donations accepted to help see them through the holidays until the shop opens again. I'll be performing, and so will aerie13. The concert will be held in the Family Life Center (the gym) at Christ United Methodist Church, 14506 E 39th St., Independence, Missouri, time TBA, but sometime 7:00 or after.

We're still gathering musicians, though I can guarantee a pretty mixed bag of styles: celtic, jazz, blues, gospel, bluegrass, and all of it will be GOOD.

More details as they become available.

I cannot attend, but I would like to donate money to the cause, so I will be watching for details of how to make donations. Thanks for posting this, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help in the meantime.
