Benefit Concert

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.
