happy '07 %USERNAME%!
go chiefs! : i'll say no more than that.
go here http://desotorecords.com : Cal Robbins is the beautiful infant son of J and Janet Robbins pictured above and has just recently been diagnosed with an advanced form of Muscular Dystrophy called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. he will never walk and many with this condition do not survive past the age of two. but Cal is strong and responding greatly to extra-curricular therapy. however, this therapy is very expensive and is not covered by their current health insurance.
so, kim coletta and bill barbot over at Desoto Records have started a fund to which we should all give. it's a small thing that can make a big difference in Cals' life. J and Janet don't want us to feel sorry for them, because they don't feel sorry for themselves. but they will need a lot of help with what J and Janet call the "new normal". here is his update at http://jrobbins.net.
we're thrilled to be playing a great benefit for Callum, J and Janet at the Empty Bottle in Chicago on Saturday, January 27th with Chinup Chinup and Bobby Conn. if i were you, and i just might be, i'd make every effort to get to this event.
