This is concerning Dave Collins. Hi there, my name is Peter, I'm a friend and former band mate of Dave's. We played for several years in a band called Cross Eyed Cat, I have many happy memories of us playing the bar scene all over Toronto, Dave always brought a lot of soul to what ever we played with his hard driving rhythm and lead playing and he's just an all around great guy to hang out with. Dave and I eventually went our separate ways musically and fell out of touch.

Recently I found out from Bob Fitzgerald, also of that band that Dave is suffering from a very serious health problem and is unable to work to support himself, and has had to sell off his guitars and amps to help pay the rent.

I'm asking for all of you to think of Dave and donate any amount that you can to help him through this. The money will be deposited directly to Dave, nobody, including myself, will receive any part of the money.

Thank you.
