GABRIEL Benefit

Saturday, August 7, a special benefit evening for Gabriel, whose home recently burned down, was a great success. The event was held at BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups (700 S. Broadway / 314-436-5222). All proceeds from merchandise sales (never before released Gabriel postcards and a Gabriel CD) plus the $10 admission went directly to Gabriel. We would like to thank all the musicians, too many to mention, who donated their time to help the cause and to any other volunteers who helped out.
