General
What happened to Jason Becker ?

Jason Becker is known as one of the most gifted and talented guitar players in the history of music, as all world class guitarists unanimously will confirm. In 1991, while recording the “A little ain’t enough” record as the lead guitarist of the David Lee Roth Band at the age of 21, Jason was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and was given less than 3 years to live. Fortunately, Jason is still around !

He eventually lost the ability to speak and now communicates with his eyes via a system developed by his father. Although his ALS gradually robbed him of his ability to play guitar, to walk, and eventually even to speak, he still remains mentally sharp and, with the aid of a computer, continues composing; he states "I have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It has crippled my body and speech, but not my mind." Now in his 30s, his medical condition has remained stable since 1997. Jason needs 24/7 care which he gets from his family and friends. Therefore financial support is very important to guarantee Jason gets the appropriate care.

For those of you that do not about Jason's state, please take a look at the following two documentaries

What is the Jason Becker Charity about ?

Being a huge fan of Jason Becker for more than 20 years, I have decided to run the New York City Marathon on November 2, 2008, and to set up a Jason Becker Charity around the Marathon. I will acquire sponsors for my Marathon and all the donations will directly go to Jason Becker. The scope of this Charity is truly global and it is my mission to unite as many Jason Becker fans as possible and to raise BIG money for him. We, Jason Becker fans, are obliged to pay back Jason for the fantastic music he created for us and which we still enjoy every day. Therefore the campaign is called "Time to payback !". Next to this MySpace page, there is another blog on this Charity; take a look at http://runforjason.blogspot.com. This Charity is supported by the Becker Family.

Update: in the meantime I have finished my New York Marathon successfully in a finishing time of 3:47:05.

How can you help Jason Becker?

1. DONATE MONEY
Donating money is the most effective way to help Jason. There is no rule whether you should donate 1, 10, 100 or 1.000 USD; just give with all of your heart whatever YOU think is appropriate. The best way is to send cash money, a cheque or money order, directly to Jason's address:
Jason Becker
P.O. Box 70513
Point Richmond, CA 94807
USA

2. PROMOTE THE JASON BECKER CHARITY

2a) Make the Jason Becker Charity one of your Top Friends in your MySpace network, at least until November 2008, when this Charity reaches its end.

2b) Place a banner of the "Time to payback !" campaign on your website. (Download from 'pics' section in MySpace, or request via mail: ron.coolen@wxs.nl, or via MySpace message)

2c) Post a bulletin on MySpace regularly where you promote the Jason Becker Charity in your network.

2d) Put editorial content on your MySpace homepage and/or MySpace weblog, with links to the Charity page

2e) Forward the information regarding the Charity to all your friends that are not on MySpace.

As you see there are many opportunities for you to help. Many thanks for helping out !

Jason Becker Benefit show

On October 11, 2008, a Jason Becker Benefit show was organized in Cupertino in the Bay Area. Among many local artists, Whitesnake bassist Uriah Duffy appeared on stage. Thanks to the organizers Michelle and Lois for putting in all the efforts ! Check out this great video of the event:

Jason Becker Fancorner

It is incredible to see how many people are inspired by Jason Becker. So many people that play along with his songs, people that dedicate songs to Jason, tributes that are being organized, and many more activities. In this Jason Becker fancorner, I will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your message to Jason.

When you want your contribution to be placed on this site, then please send me a message and I will make sure it gets published !

We received a fantastic video from 17 year old (!) Fredrik Präntare from Sweden (www.myspace.com/bcbrain). He composed and recorded a tribute song to Jason Becker, and recorded it on video. It's an amazing contribution, many thanks Fredrik !

Hi friends,we have news for bands on myspace.

Bands can by a personal banner advertisement on Cineversity.TV.
Of course we are not as big as Youtube or Myspace, but we can give you reasonable promotion through our website and newsletter.
On Youtube, Myspace, etcetera there is so much content that you have to be found in the crowd, plus a banner advertisement for one

day would cost around 50.000 Euro per day.
We have a low budget arrangement that will cost you less and you will be seen on one of best music websites in Europe!
We have at the  moment 22.000 unique visitors on the website and they stay on average for 31 minutes, thats even better as Youtube!
And this crowd is still growing.
A banner for a year would cost the band or you, 100 Euro VAT.excluded, and the band is mentioned in our newsletter.
We hold the right to say no to a banner or band.

Interested: send an email to bandpromotion@cineversity.tv
