INFO FOR FEB 20TH SHOW
We are so pleased to be able to do this show - a benefit for a wonderful organization called OldDog Haven. Located in western Washington, this group is a network of private homes helping western Washington's homeless senior dogs and assisting in senior dog placement. Take a moment or two to visit their website, www.olddoghaven.org. (The "happy endings" page is especially worth a visit.)
The efforts of Alicia Smith, Bobi Atlee, (President of PHoPS), Brenda Moore and Debbie Hess all combined to be a positive driving force in getting this done. THANK YOU to you folks and to PHoPS for sponsoring this event.
As an added bonus - Curtis Moore will be opening the show, starting at 8:00. I hope to see this place filled to the rafters!

UPDATE: Big "G" Scholarship Fund Drive
Hi Friends,
Just want to let you all know that the folks who attended our annual "Fan Appreciation Party" contributed $500.00 cash to the Big "G" Scholarship Fund! In addition, our friends at the Orange County Parrot Head Club contributed a check for $ 250.00! The total is climbing. This will enable us to remember our lost Brother Big G by helping to send a deserving music student from Key West High on to college with a little help from The Biggest G! Thanks to everyone who contributed and keep those donations flowing into this worthy cause! Thanks a million! Cheers! Hugo

Hugo on KONK RADIO 1680 AM
Hi everyone, yesterday I got a call from my new buddy, Steph Wishearth, who had invited us to do an interview during MOTM week. The response to the show was so good that they've aired it twice since the original live airing. I have so many friends around the country, and if everyone will contact KONK Radio and ask for another replay of our show it would be very cool.
You can access them by going to http://www.konkam.com/ and asking them to replay it on the Internet. I'd really be grateful to all of you for doing this.
Radio is so very hard to come by when you are an independent artist. I'm going to ask them to play it again to because I want to hear it BECAUSE I WANT TO HEAR IT! Thanks in advance for your help on this.
Cheers!

Big "G" Scholarship Fund Drive
Hi Everyone,
It has been a while since my friend and brother musician David "Big G" Gelinas passed away from complications resulting from diabetes. He was a part of my band for so many years that I lost count. It just seemed that he was always there and would always be there. It is a shock to the system when your contemporaries leave this world and I have lost my share over the last few years. I think we all go into some sort of denial about losing someone close, and it takes a while to get your feet back under you.
All of us in the band wish to remember Big G in a positive way. I think the best way for us to do that is to ask everyone we know to make a small donation to the "Big G Scholarship Fund". This money is used to help deserving students in the Key West High School music program, specifically students of percussion. What better way to honor someone who loved music as much as Big G did.
So, if you can, we'll be taking donations at the show every night at the Hog's Breath Saloon and we'll also be taking donations at the annual "Fan Appreciation Party" upstairs at the Hog on Friday, November 6th.
If you're not going to go to Key West this year for MOTM, you can send your donations to the mailing address on our website and we'll forward them on for you. Thanks a million in advance for your kindness and generosity.
Best Wishes, Hugo
