Jon Dee opened, acoustic & unaccompanied, for him and he was tremendous. He then played lead for Alejandro's show and startled the crowd with his guitar play. Naturally Alejandro's set was superb. I picked up the benefit disc at the show and yes it is great. Highly recommended. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-mad-mission@smoe.org [mailto:owner-mad-mission@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Rob Hanning Sent: October 10, 2005 12:14 PM To: mad-mission@smoe.org Subject: MM: Patty on Willie Graham benefit DVD I don't know if this has been discussed on the list, but I wanted to let the fellow Patty fanatics know about this CD/DVD set. 100% of the proceeds go to a fund to help pay the medical expenses of Jon Dee Graham's son, Willie. For those of you who might not know, Jon Dee is an amazingly talented Austin singer/songwriter who's been around for years, and has played with Alejandro Escovedo, Kelly Willis, and others. I just got my copy last week, and Patty's performance is wonderful. There's a lot of other great stuff on the CD & DVD as well. I cut & pasted the info below from one of the sites where the CD/DVD can be purchased, www.texasmusicroundup.com. Check out their site & pick up this great package that benefits a good cause. Or go to JDG's site, www.jondeegraham.com, and check his music out as well as the links to buy the benefit CD/DVD. I don't think you'll be disappointed. "Jon Dee's son Willie has developed Legg Perthes, a rare childhood form of avascular necrosis of the hip. For reasons unknown, the head of the femur loses its blood circulation and dies. The Graham family lost insurance coverage when their insurance provider filed Chapter 11. Now Willie's condition is considered pre-existing by other companies, making him uninsurable. They may be looking at several years of treatment, physical therapy and surgery. The CD was recorded live at the Continental Club by Oscar & Grammy-winning engineer/producer Chet Himes on June 24, when the Austin music community banded together for a benefit concert. Artists include The Resentments, Ian McLagan,Steve Poltz, Bob Schneider, Alejandro Escovedo, Charlie Sexton, James McMurtry, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Matt The Electrician, The New Hot Damn (Kacy Crowley, Trish Murphy and Renee Woodward), Honky w/Jon Dee, Beaver Nelson, Kathy McCarty, and Walter Tragert. The CD also features an original song by Willie Graham called "Rock 'n Roll" which was performed by Jon Dee, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Alejandro Escovedo and Charlie Sexton. The DVD was produced by News 8 Austin's Andy Langer and features rooftop performances on July 27 & August 3 by Patty Griffin, Ray Benson, Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison, David Garza, Darden Smith, Jud Newcomb w/ the Tosca String Quartet, The Gourds, Jack Ingram, Jeff Klein, Elizabeth McQueen, and Terri Hendrix & Lloyd Maines. DVD extras include performances by Jon Dee and the Resentments. Also included is Andy's 22 minute interview with Jon Dee that details the cause that brought everyone together." ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V9 #196 *********************************
