ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN
The good news, according to Nancy Sefton, is that all-around mensch Safari Sam Lanni has paid a thousand bux of the $6,680 he owes The Dog & Pony Show cancer benefit staged at Safari Sam’s last Labor Day weekend. I was at Burning Man when this marathon came off, but the event was so successful (and need for succoring cancer-wracked musicians so great) that D&P ramrod Dave Alvin is thinking about making this roots-rock extravaganza a yearly thang. The bad news is over five-and-a-half thousand of promised gate money is still outstanding and the worse news is that Duane Jarvis, guitarist extraordinaire and one of the four objects of D&P’s charitable intentions, is in hospital in the U.K. recovering from surgery. Jarvis has been on tour with Michelle Shocked and his friends ask you to remember him in whatever prayers you make.
