Word on Sunday morning from benefit organizer Don Talley: “We heard from one viewer in Brazil who was watching our WebCast. We had one couple who were home watching the WebCast on their computer at home and it looked like so much fun, they hopped in their car and drove down to White Horse Black Mountain to watch the live concert. We were THRILLED with the success of both the event and the webcast. We are excited about day 2 of Help Haiti Heal Benefit which starts at 2pm today”
