Our long time friend J.R. Massey was involved in a bad automobile accident in Memphis last week. He is recovering slowly from a lacerated spleen, severe facial trauma and multiple bruises and contusions. His return to work date is unknown at this point and the purpose of this benefit is to help he and his family through this difficult time by providing financial assistance. I have asked for, and received an incredible amount of donations of time, materials, and services for this event. We are bringing in a professional lighting/sound/stage setup which will transform Grumpy’s into an amazing Rock-n-Roll venue! All proceeds from the cover charge, silent auction, and any donations will go directly to the Massey family. Details are as follows:
