"when i'm not busy trying to figure out this harp thing, i try and  make
myself useful as a mentor to our church's high school youth group.   each
year about 25 kids and 6 adults travel from nj to south carolina to  build
a house for habitat for humanity. this year we'll build our 13th  house.

on saturday, march 11, we'll be holding a benefit concert in  morristown, nj,
to raise funds for this year's trip.  i am very pleased  to announce that
Jason Ricci and New Blood will be performing in support of  our efforts.

i mention it here for two reasons.  first, i hope that  some of you in the
NY/NJ area will be able to come join us for this show; it  should be really
great.  more importantly, i want to thank jason for  agreeing to do this
for us.  given how crazy his touring schedule is,  and how hard he has to
work to make it on the road, it's a real measure of  the man that he is
willing to go out of his way to lend his talents to  helping others.  i
almost feel guilty asking him, except that i know how  much it means to
him to help.  you all know what a great musician he is,  but you should
also know what a great person he is.

i'll bug y'all  again as the time gets nearer; just wanted to give some
advance notice.   i really hope some of you can make it out to this.  i'd
love to be able  to share my passion for this project, and let you see what 
great things  these kids accomplish (we'll be building our 13th house this
year).  and  if in the process you get to enjoy some great music, well,
that makes it even  sweeter.

....Sounds terrific and I hope to attend.  You're absolutely  right about 
Jason.  He's the most generous musician I've ever known and I  couldn't be more 
proud of him, but the whole Habitat project says a lot  about you too.  Please 
keep bugging me as the time draws near.  I  sure don't want to miss it.
