Benefit for Phil and Judy Wiggins



(From the Blues E-Zine)

- We in the Blues world know of Cephas & Wiggins as partners in music, but

Phil Wiggins has another partner in his life and that is his wife Judy.

Over this summer Phil and Judy's home in Tacoma Park, Maryland, was damaged

by a natural event to the point that it has been "totaled." Both of them are

ok ... they were insured ... but the insurance company said that they were

not insured for the type of damage which they incurred. So now Phil and Judy

face the mess of a destroyed home with an ongoing mortgage and they need

help.



If you want to thank Phil for the years of wonderful music he has

given us, there are three things you can do:



1. You can go to "The Hands" Benefit Site for the Home of Phil Wiggins at

http://www.cafeshops.com/philwiggins and buy a t-shirt.



2. You can attend the benefit concert on Monday, October 27, in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Info at http://www.imtfolk.org/html/imt_wiggins_benifit.html.



3. You can send Phil a donation directly to:

PO Box 5383, Takoma Park, Maryland, 20913.

For those who don't know them, John and Phil are among the greatest living exponents of Piedmont Blues, and are EXTREMELY good. "Harmonica" Phil Wiggins has played with others besides John, including the great gospel busker Flora Molton. He's a fabulous musician and so are many of his friends, and anyone who goes to the concert will certainly not be disappointed! Thanks for pointing this out, Rich!
