The music community is filled with talented people who share the same plight: they have no access to adequate health care. There is a national problem with our health care system and this community is not exempt.
Labor Day weekend we will present the 1st Annual Dog and Pony Show where artists come together to help each other. Proceeds from this event will go to help pay the bills of those who have not been able to afford the care they need: The more money we raise the more people we can assist.
Please come join us in bringing awareness by attending this 3-day festival.
Remember! This isn't a one-man show. Come join the band! Buy a ticket and tell your friends. Lend a hand ...or a guitar...or a voice...or a whatever ya got

COME GATHER WITH YOUR FRIENDS FROM THE DOG & PONY SHOW FOR A HOLIDAY FUNDRAISING EVENT AT
COPRO NASON ART GALLERY DEC 13, 2008!
It’s that time of year again, when we look forward to communing with our friends and loved ones and sharing the years events. And this years past events sure have given us a lot to talk about.
First of all, in the past year + we lost some of our favorite people to illness. Chris Gaffney, Steve Bartell, Jeff Cranford - you will all be dearly missed. We’ve also seen other good friends go through tough medical times. Drac Conley is seeing the better side of his surgery for prostate cancer, with 5 post surgery screenings coming up negative (that’s good). Candye Kane holds good thoughts and continues with clean tests as well after fighting off a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Duane Jarvis has just gone through another surgery, but is back in LA ready to continue the battle. Please keep sending your good thoughts as he is prepares for chemo in the coming months. All are still trying to recover financially from past and present medical bills and lost wages.
With all of your help, our Labor Day fundraising event to help with these medical needs was a huge success. We raised just over $30,000.00 in ticket sales, art sales and the raffle! Unfortunately, there is a dark side to this story in that Sam has not paid us all of the money that was raised from the advance ticket sales at Safari Sam’s. He still owes us $5,680. and has been slow to respond on this.
Sam – PAY UP!
Anyway, back to a brighter note on the year’s events…
WE ELECTED A NEW PRESIDENT! With the Bush years nearly behind us, we can go with hope into 2009, and know that with our help, we could see a brighter future for our children. With our help and persistence, we will hopefully see some sort of new structure to our healthcare system so that in the future our friends won’t need to think about the financial ramification of getting sick. I know - I’m idealistic. But I’ll hold onto this thought as we stand behind our new President in pushing for change.
In the meantime! Let’s have a PARTY!
Copro Nason Art Gallery at Bergamont Station in Santa Monica has offered to continue the fundraising efforts of the Dog & Pony Show by hosting our annual holiday party this year! They have invited many great artists to show in the gallery and will donate a portion of the proceeds to The Dog & Pony efforts! They will also have a silent auction on some original work prints to directly benefit "The Dog and Pony Show". The more money we raise the more people we can help. This is such a huge help for us.
So come join us for food, drink, great music by JOE WOOD and CHAMPAIGN VELVET
and other surprise guests. Let’s end this year with some fun and look forward to a brighter New Year!
