Ramblin Jug Stompers first anniversary show at Tess' Lark Tavern on Monday was a whopping success, thanks to all of you. We managed to raise more than $1,400 for the Malachowski Medical Fund to help out our pal David Malachowski. He had a life-threatening medical problem during the holidays resulting in a weeklong stay in the hospital, some very expensive tests and more ongoing recovery treatment.
Thanks to RJS alum Moanin Ed Atkeson, who joined the band for a delightful rendition of "Tennessee Waltz." And special thanks to David's daughter Lindsay, who made a lovely little speech on her father's behalf, as well as the fine folks at Elmore magazine, who donated subscriptions as an incentive to donate.
But most of all, thanks to all of you Jugheads who opened your hearts and your wallets to a good friend in need. You guys are great.
We're playing another benefit for the Malachowski Medical Fund at 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 27 at the Bearsville Theater just outside of Woodstock. We'll be sharing the bill with Mechanical Bull, Bret Mosley and Liana Turner. Admission is $10, all of which goes directly to David.
Most importantly, if David's recovery continues along at its current pace, he plans on attending the show at the Bearsville Theater, and hopefully, he'll even break out his guitar to do a little playing with several of the performers.
Thanks again for all of your help. Obviously, we couldn't have done it without you.
