interested.

Dear folks:
It breaks our hearts to bring this news to everyone.

 We just got off the phone with Sam Lay.

Legendary Bluesman Sam Lay founding drumer for Howlin' Wolf and for  
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, known for his double shuffle style  
of drumming and more recently as a front man singing and on guitar  
and his drumming with The Siegel-Schwall Blues Band, went into the  
hospital last night with the symptoms of a stroke and is undergoing  
testing.

He phoned us in a very concerned manner this morning from his  
hospital room and was being transfered to another room at the time he  
called.

He had several performers that have had to be canceled as a result of  
this emergency and is very disheartened with that.

We just obtained permission from him to release this information.

We thought everyone would like to know and we are hoping that  
everyone will Please Send Get Well Cards and Lots of Love to:

Mt Sinai Hopsital
Patient: Sam Lay (RM 506)
1500 South California Ave
Chicago, IL 60608

Thank you and hugs to all,
Salli & Gabe
