The Cox Family's Auto Accident

According to my morning newspaper :

"The musical act The Cox Family is trying to regroup and plan for the future after two members were injured in a car accident. Willard and Marie Cox were listed in fair condition Sunday at LSU hospital in Shreveport LA. Willard , a Grammy Award winning fiddler has a crushed spine and cannot walk. Marie suffered a fractured vertebrae, a broken arm and rib and a concussion. They perform with son Sidney and daughters Evelyn and Suzanne"

Best of luck to the Cox's. I'm sure this is a tough time for them.

Very tragic how many performers are injured or killed travelling. Tragic for anyone of course. My best thoughts to the family.

Bonne gu&eactuterison to these folks! Also, on a lighter note, I am reminded of what one of my 5-year old twins said after my X2B wrecked the car with them in it this winter (kids were fine)... this was about a week later, I was telling someone about it, and Willie jumped in all excited and said Guess what! Last week [....] took me to a car crash! As if it had been the circus or something! Which to them, I guess it was...

Oh jeez...my thoughts and heart go out to them. What a wonderful and talented family. With God's help, Willard will walk, and play, again.
