Excerpt from Linda Alen's newsletter:

"In other news, I'll be participating in two benefits for our beloved Utah Phillips. His illness is preventing his being able to travel to perform, and as all of us who have done this trade know, this is a drastic setback. Medical bills have been high. So please come out and support Utah. If you don't know his work, check out his music on ITunes, or visit his web site. He's truly one of the finest, funniest performers and songwriters I know. Here are some details:
