DESCRIPTION:
This was one of the best nights of music I have ever been privileged to attend ! The tremendous pairings and the unfettered sharing of Love, Compassion, Friend ship, Histories, Stories and varied genre of music entertained, thrilled, moved and just plain left you feeling great to be a human being and a part of this wonderful community of Kynd, Kynd folk....

All done for the benefit of Jeff Pinkham who has been struck with throat cancer and has contributed so much to the music of our generation.

A special thanks goes out to Mike Marshall for the idea and traveling all the way from Germany to perform and to Tom and Cricket of Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa, Fl for opening and staffing their venue on what is normally a night off. Also, for organizing and supporting this in such an involved and special way.

If you have never been to a show at Skipper's....GO !!! As a fan and a taper I can tell you that this is truly one of my very favorite places to see, tape, listen and dance to music.... and the food in the restaurant is delicious !
