**ThisSongKillsCancer.org is a public charity created for Cathy Cash. Cathy has appendiceal cancer and no insurance to pay for the treatment to stay alive. Cathy's medical bills are close to $200,000 now and still coming in. It started with a small idea about selling something downloadable on line to raise some money to help. With much thanks to Matt Ranck, the producer, that little seed has grown into a wonderfully generous group of artists donating their original work to the cause, so that they can give you this incredible collection of music. You may recognize some of the artists here, you may not. But one thing for certain, you can not hear this and walk away with an untouched heart. Artists: Nanci Griffith, Fayssoux McLean, * Eric Brace, David Childers, Peter Cooper, David Ezell, Tony Giles (Cathy's brother), David Giles (Cathy's brother), Michael Reno Harrell, Todd Snider, Greg Trooper and Matt Ranck. For more information and to donate $7 for the music download, visit http://www.thissongkillscancer.org.

"That's great. I work at an ad
agency and do some web work myself. Thanks for the weekly music newsletter -
you're the reason I found out about opportunities to play on the local Fox TV
station and for Autism Aware Fare last year. Your support of local music is
awesome."
