I also apologize to those who find off topic content offensive. But, there has been NO content on these lists for quite some time and this is an important cause. Lowen and Navarro are a duo that I first heard about through the Christine Lavin list and have been enjoying tremendously since that time. Their major claim to fame is the song, "We Belong" made famous by Pat Benetar. They appear around LA fairly frequently and have always been wonderful. Unfortunately, Eric now has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He continues to perform, although it is now from a wheelchair and he is no longer able to play his guitar. Even though his body is betraying him, he continues to entertain with the familiar twinkle in his eye, impassioned voice and continuous humor. He is nothing short of an inspiration. I will be participating in the ALS walk for Eric. Actually I will be a Volunteer, but will be walking virtually. Talk about multi-tasking. If you care to lend your support, please use the link below. Even modest donations of $10-15 are encouraged. It would also be great to see you there if you live in the area. http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/?pg=personal&fr_id=2770&px=1608969 You may also donate directly to Eric's cause on the web site. He and his truly wonderful wife are raising 5 thirteen year old kids (triplets from her first marriage and twins from his, who he has custody of). Eric's days of performing are unclear, but destined to end too early. He will need the financial support for care givers one day, not to mention all those kids that he will not be able to provide for. We can at least help financially. Of course, buying their albums and attending shows helps too!
