    Dear Friend(s)

    Two fellow musicians and myspace community members were senselessly shot last Saturday morning in Savannah, Georgia. While they are people you most likely have not met, I am sending this out because ANY contribution towards their recovery would be greatly appreciated. They had just finished playing a show downtown and were attacked after two thugs approached them first trying to sell them drugs, then asking for money. These friends of mine gave the thugs some beers as that was all they had to offer.
    In return, one was shot point blank in the neck, and the same bullet lodged in my other friends spine.

    Here are some links:
    http://www.myspace.com/stattshimself/

    This page was set up by the wife of one of my friends.
    The whole story is there in her blogs.

    http://www.stattswilliams.com/

    This is the donation site. It is PayPal facilitated.
    The donations will be split evenly between the two families.

    Here is some footage of their band earlier that night playing.

    PLEASE HELP MY BROTHERS OUT.
    EVERY DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I am so honored to have heard the last time you will sing those songs at the aladdin about a week ago.

    I am so excited to hear your new ones.

    And I am happy for you that you don't have to go there again. There's only so much you can say about a broken heart, I guess.
