I know that this may not be the most prosperous times for some and it can be hard to stay positive. So, I would like to remind you all to remember Eric Lowen - a most amazing role model. As most of you probably know, Eric is one part of Lowen and Navarro - a wonderful singer/songwriter duo. Their biggest hit was "We Belong" made famous by Pat Benatar. Eric now has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He currently is in a wheelchair and can only use his fingers and hands a little bit. Yet he is still performing and maintains an amazing spirit. Instead of dwelling on the sadness of the last notes he was able to play on his guitar, he will tell you how awesome it was that those last notes happened to be recorded. While not being a Pollyanna, he maintains his wicked sense of humor. In the past, I have asked the mailing lists that I am associated with to please watch the video of the recording of a song he did about his disease. Each time this video is viewed, $1 is donated to Augie's Quest, an organization in search of a cure. Lately not many people are viewing. At this time, I ask that we all make an effort to click on this video to donate to the cause. It costs you nothing but a click of your mouse. You don't have to sit and watch the video. Personally, I run it all day long with the sound off, clicking whenever I think about it. There are no limits to how many times you can click, and generate a donation, per day. I was at a Lowen and Navarro concert and spoke with John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) who is the one who donates that $1 per click. He expressed his disappointment in the amount of people viewing the video. We don't want to let these guys down, do we? So, please click on the link below and keep clicking. There is also a video just about Eric which generates a donation as well. So, again, Happy Thanksgiving - even to those of you outside of the U.S. Although the origins of the holiday might not apply to you, it would not hurt at all if tomorrow you have a lovely meal and take the time to remember all the reasons you have to be grateful.

I think they get tabulated at set times. ------------------------------ End of good-noise-digest V10 #31 ********************************
