[Dixielandjazz] Clark Terry Fundraising Event

[Robert Ringwald]

Clark Terry Fundraising Event
As many of you know from reading Clark Terry's blog, in recent months, Clark has
undergone many health challenges including amputation of both of his legs. The Jazz
Foundation of America provides 'round the clock healthcare help and support.
To help defray these costs, some of Clark's musical friends will join in a "Fundraising
Concert for Clark" which will include a special Skype appearance by Clark and Gwen
Terry.
