Habitat for Humanity Benefit Concert

Howdy "all y'all" !

My friend Eddie Collins - board member of Fayette County Habitat for Humanity - asked me to set up a concert in order to raise funds for their organization.

Of course, I said "yes" and felt much honored and happy to set it up for such a great cause.

Therefore, I will be playing - with my usual partner in crime the crazy Luiz Coutinho, fabulous Brazilian percussionit at Jovita's.

Jovita's will have a Happy Hour all day! (tell me you are not spoiled after that... ugh...)
It would be generous and nice (and I know you are) to forward this email to your family and friends and make this benefit event a real success for Habitat for Humanity.

Please join the fun and be part of such a great solidarity!

Feel free to forward this invation to your family, friends and work colleagues: everybody's welcome!

Thanks to Mayo and Joyce who support this fundraising event and let me use their venue.
