Jim O'Neal, the founder of Living Blues Magazine and the late great Rooster Blues Records has been diagnosed with Lymph cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Like so many in the music industry, and blues in particular, Mr. O'Neal does not have insurance. You can help Mr. O'Neal and his family by sending a donation and helping to spread the word. It's good karma, baby!
A fund has been set up at
Commerce Bank in Kansas City.
Checks may be sent to:
Jim O'Neal Blues Fund,
P.O. Box 10334,
Kansas City, MO 64171.
You can also donate at www.paypal.com
to the account onealbluesfund@aol.com
Of course, musicians being who they are are always quick to help their own and a series of benefit shows are being arranged. If you live near any of these locations please show up for a night of great music for an even greater cause. The good that Jim O'Neal done for blues music and musicians can hardly be repaid. But here is your opportunity to try.
