Please donate whatever you can to help out our Syrian and Turkish brothers and sisters. Over 36,000 dead as of this writing. Every little $5 helps when multiplied by thousands. I just can’t imagine such a disaster in the middle of winter… in the middle of the night… [Update: Bashar al- Assad, President of Syria, is demanding that all monies and offers of aid for Syria go through him first. My thoughts cannot be printed or spoken. . .]

Steve Son sent a poster of his upcoming show at Gennaro’s. He wanted us to know that the drawing of the little boy was actually of him at a young age. His family knew the artist so he drew Steve with a guitar! How neat is that!!!
