Photo: Tim Elliott | If you didn’t get a chance to donate to Tim Elliott’s Go Fund Me, please do so soon. Tim’s trailer with all his gear in it was stolen on Christmas Day. Low blow. I’ve had a ton of band equipment stolen from my vehicles and I know what a devastating event that is. Chris ‘Tree’ Williams has organized the GoFundME for Tim “because he is one of the most generous people in Northern Colorado. Everyone knows about how he has organized Drumming up Hope to raise money for St Jude’s and his many other charitable acts.” https://gofund.me/64bb1fc1

We got a quick “Shout Out” and “Thank you” from Olivia Reeths for adding an article about her mom Sue Kittredge’s fiddlin’ abilities in last week’s newsletter. You may remember that a band member handed Sue his fiddle and it turns out that Sue is quite an accomplished violinist! Big surprise to the band and to the crowd!
