Posting this to help out this good cause a little. Here's an email I got from my buddy Dave Duncan
Hey Friends,
I hope this note finds everyone well and Thankful on this holiday.God Bless You All. I'll be brief so here goes :
Just (2) weeks from tonite we will be doing a fundraiser to lend a hand to Jimmy and Minni Nalls and their family. As most everyone receiving this email knows, Jimmy has had a long hard bout with Parkinson's Disease. He has had some pretty good days physically over the last 6 or 8 months but there are still not some so good days as might be expected.
Harder for the family at this point, some 12 years into the ordeal, is that the financial end never really lets up. We have all heard stories about how expensive medicine and treatments and surgeries are in today's world.. well Jimmy & Minni has had a dozen years of this mess and have soldiered on bravely. Jimmy has been producing some tracks on his friend Alan and had played some guitar on some demos and is doing all he can. Minni has been the rock through this thing and she does more than everything than needs to get done.. she is a Saint.
All that being said, the debt load is overwhelming..credit cards, home loans,doctor bills,prescriptions,physical therapy... the whole shebangee..its maxed out.... SO.. we are doing what we can to help a Brother out..
Which brings me to you.. we would like you, Jimmy's extended family of friends, to do two or three things for us:
1) forward this email to as many people(friends and music lovers worldwide) as you think it would be appropriate to { Jimmy's one page/bio is attached to this email}
2)Come to Douglas Corner on Monday Sept 24th to see Jimmy and his pals making some beautiful noise.. Jiimy will be sitting in on guitar with as many of the sets as he feels up to
3) If you cannot make it to the gig on Monday Sept 24th, please consider sending whatever size donation you are comfortable with to the Recovery Fund address below.
We can't Thank You enough for all the Love and Support that Jimmy has received over the years and for the enormous generosity the Jammin 4 Jimmy event has raised over The Nalls Family over the previous years. Thank You with all Sincerity !
Here is the lineup as of now.
