[Harp-L] Candye Kane battling Pancreatic Cancer

["46long Blake" <46long@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many of you may know of this already, but Candye Kane underwent aggressive
surgery on Friday the 18th to try to help combat her Pancreatic Cancer.  You
can read all about her battle on her Myspace site. The first report is here:

You can click around for updates and info on her surgery.

Candye is truly a one of a kind artist - mixing Blues with Burlesque, and a
tireless, kind-hearted fighter for people that society might try to
marginalize or discriminate against - particularly in the LGBT community.
She has also formed good relationships with a number of folks in the
harmonica community. I don't know if she has a regular harp player touring
with her now.

She calls herself the "toughest girl" in the business, but even tough girls
need help.  Candye, like many pro musicians, does not have any health
insurance. Her surgery, and the associated care will be astronomically
expensive.  She's not shouting it from the rooftops, but she is accepting
donations to her paypal account: candyekanetour@xxxxxxx

Whether you throw a couple bucks her way or not, she certainly could use all
of our thoughts and prayers.
