For those who made the David Bryan Benefit Concert possible— thank you

This goes out to all who took part in making the benefit concert for David Bryan on Dec. 5 at the Town Pump in Black Mountain an over-the-top success! There are so many to thank!

Our higher power, for one — and to Julie and Steve from the Town Pump for providing the [perfect] venue. To the barmaids, Michelle and Melanie, we couldn't have done it without you! Mr. Rob Stimson, you were a godsend! Thanks to Artimus Pyle and Dale "Hippie" Carmicheal for donating such awesome silent-auction items! Thanks also everyone who helped provide the backline (big help!). And to everyone who helped in any way.

Sincere thanks to all of you who came from near and far to selflessly share your musical talents! You kept the house rockin’ into the night!

Thank you to all who came out to enjoy the show! You helped out a fellow brother! Thanks to the Black Mountain News, Mountain Xpress, Don Talley and the Black Mountain Music Scene for helping spread the word about this event!

Once again I must express my admiration for the people of this wondrous, mountain-music mecca! I am fortunate to be living among such bright, beautiful, caring people!
