Painted Sun Records releases Songs for Laura Volume One. A benefit CD
to raise funds for cancer treatment dedicated to Forest Sun's mother,
Laura.
"Laura left her body feb 17th..two years later than the doctors said
she had to live. She died at home as she requested. Dressed in her
finest garments and jewelry, holding her lovers hand as she took her
last breath. My brother and I got to spend a week with her in the hospital and say goodbye. She couldn't speak but i know she could hear. I brought my
guitar and we sang her favorite songs. I played her the Songs for
Laura CD every day. She is a courageous and beautiful and powerful being...and she will be missed."
"I am immensely grateful to the nineteen artists who donated songs to help raise funds for cancer treatment -Sean Hayes, Alo, Brett Dennen, Shane Alexander, Matt the Electrician, Beth Waters, Tom Freund, Danny Schmidt, AJ Roach, Anais Mitchell, Alex Goldfarb, Devon Sproule, Paul Curreri, Gavin Glass, Four Year Bender, The Mammals, Elam Blackman and Libby Kirkpatrick.
It's a wonderful compilation that i know you will love and all the
proceeds go to a worthy cause. My gratitude also for everyone's love
and support in the last few years as my mom fought on."
"There were so many great musicians wiling to gift their music for
this project that there will be more Volumes to follow. There will be
concerts with the artists involved this year as well... i'll let you
know."
