Forum Bro needs our help are we up to it?

Postby JohnDavisStringsHere » Thu Jul 24, 2014 2:19 pm

If you ever listened to Buzz Evans play steel guitar or 6 string electric the man is amazing, but a stroke could hit any of us and in Buzz`s case it has affected his eyes. I have loved his playing ever since I heard his recording of "My Mothers Eyes" and the you tube six string rendition of The Beatles "Yesterday" Check him out and give yourselves a treat!

There is a benefit organised for him that I would surely go to If, it was this side of the pond, but as its not and times are hard all I can do is $50 in the pot.......

Hope some among you may be able to do the same for this fine gent and brilliant musician.

I made a donation a couple of days ago. I spent an evening with Buzz in Austin in 2009, and he was a very funny man. One of the best musicians I have ever come across.
