Subject: RE: Rick Fielding tribute, March 21, Toronto
I want to make sure I keep this up for the next few days so that any of you that are interested will know the important stuff. This is going to be a wonderful show, with groups of the finest singers/players/friends, sharing reminisces and songs. And the funds raised will go to a very important charity that assists musicians with health problems. Here is a description of that:

Now, about the funds. We are pleased to tell you that the funds raised will be donated to the Artists' Health Center located in the Toronto Western hospital. If you don't already know about this wonderful service please visit www.ahcf.ca The money raised will be specifically allocated to a Musicians' program to help local musicians with physical, emotional, spiritual and performance issues. With your permission, your names and websites will be mentioned on their website in recognition of the generous time and talent you will have given to this special memorial night to honour Rick Fielding.
