Big “G” Scholarship Fund Drive
Hi Everyone,
It has been a while since my friend and brother musician David “Big G” Gelinas passed away from complications resulting from diabetes. He was a part of my band for so many years that I have lost count. It just seemed that he was always there and would always be there. It is a shock to the system when your contemporaries leave this world and I have certainly lost my share over the last few years. I think we all go into some sort of denial about losing someone close, and it takes a while to get your feet back under us.
All of us in the band choose to remember Big G in a positive way. The best way for us to do that is to ask our friends and fans to make a small donation to the “Big G Scholarship Fund”. The money goes to help deserving students in the Key West High School music program, specifically students of percussion. What better way to honor someone who loved music as much as Big G did.
So, if you can, we’ll be taking donations at the show every night at the Hog’s Breath Saloon and we’ll also be taking donations at the annual “Fan Appreciation Party” upstairs at the Hog.
If you’re not going to go to Key West for MOTM, you can send your Donations to “Big G Scholarship Fund”, c/o Donna Nelson, 2409 Harris Ave., Key West, FL 33040-3850. Make sure to enclose return address information if you want receipt for tax purposes. Thanks a million in advance for your kindness and generosity.
Best Wishes, Hugo
Celebrating his Big "G"ness
