Band Stand June 2017
Lloyd “Have Mercy” Jones
Bringing out the “LOVE BUCKET” for our friend and yours… Curtis Salgado.
Curtis had to cut his east coast tour short for an emergency triple bypass heart surgery recently! Due to the fact that he has incurred massive medical bills and can’t work right now to even pay his normal bills, I’d like to invite ya’ll to show your love by coming out to Catfish Lou’s (2460 NW 24th Ave., Portland) Thursday June 8 and putting whatever funds you can afford into the “LOVE BUCKET” for our pal Curtis Salgado. 100% of what you contribute will go directly to him.
Curtis is healing nicely and hoping to be back at work in July. If we can help even a little let’s do it. After all he has made us feel good for a mighty long time.
BTW – I’ve been diggin’ on the new acoustic recording Curt & Alan Hagar just finished…over, and over, and over again. It’s fantastic!
Also, “The All Star Band” playing for you on June 8 will record June 11 as the brainchild of Boyd Small & Willy Barber. Such guests as Louis Pain, Peter Dammann, Big Monti and myself. Others are welcome join in on Thursday night as well.
Hope you can help.
Thanks,
Lloyd “Have Mercy” Jones
