Christine Lavin will be joining us Friday night and Saturday to help us raise money for Tom Smith. She'll be chipping in at the benefit concert with the song There Will be Peace, which is the song Tom was trying to get on stage to sing when he had his fall. She's hoping to video tape it and send it to Tom.

She encourages people to learn the guitar chords, so we can do a really big work-up of the song. You can hear the song and see the words at http://www.rhapsody.com/tompaxton/yourshoesmyshoes/peacewillcome/lyrics.html.

Please spread the word and we'll try to send Tom a great big cheer-up video.

Shhhh. Don't tell Tom!
