Some Mudcatters may remember that I have quite frequently mentioned Buddy Tabor, Juneau's pre-eminent musician. Buddy has fans from all across Alaska and in many communities in the west. He is a prolific songwriter coming up with meaty lyrics and subjects that to his fans are second to few. In addition, he is an interesting, sensitive person I am proud to call friend.

Now Buddy has cancers-several of them. They have not yet isolated the originating cancer but they know of several attacked sites. He has spent the last few weeks in Anchorage, Alaska undergoing radiation aimed at stopping and eradicating the cancerous lesions on his spine.

Tonight he is returning to Juneau where he will immediately begin chemotherapy.

On the phone last night I asked him if he'd mind if I got the Mudcat Mojo to work for him and he said, "Go for it. I'm not shy."

So, how about it? We've all seen marvelous outcomes here- can we do it again? Buddy needs help.

There will be a big fundraiser for Buddy's medical costs this coming Sunday. Lots of bands, with the emphasis on blues, lots of great donations to be (silent) auctioned off with everything from music books to hotel stays to trips. The community has really stepped up.

My family and I know first-hand what it can mean to know that others are directing good intention in all the forms that may take, even folks we know not. Adding my own good intentions to the stream....

The Buddy Bash was a huge success. Hundreds of people came. Many who weren't able to stay for the evening came by and dropped off donations.

Buddy was there for awhile. Sang a couple of songs - for some reason, his singing voice is stronger than his speaking voice. One of the songs was his Miles to Go: Between the Earth and the Sky and the moment we die, we still got miles to go...
