So remember Dennis, the drummer/percussionist I jam with every so often? He backed me up at my first Folklife gig, the gig with Artis the Spoonman, and lots of others (you can hear him in some of the live rehearsal MP3s). He also plays in a kabillion other bands around town.
A few weeks back some crackhead stole all of his drum hardware, right out of his bedroom. He still has the drums, but all the cymbals, stands and pedals are gone.
So tomorrow (Saturday) I and some friends are playing a benefit house concert to raise a little money to help Dennis replace his equipment. It's a semi-private party, but if you're in the Seattle area and want to attend, email me and I'll send you details.
If you're feeling generous, you can Paypal a donation to me using the button below, and I'll forward it on to Dennis. I'm sure he'd appreciate the assist.
