Hello,

I am fundraising for Pat Close, who is recovering from surgery related to pancreatic cancer. His recovery will be long and challenging, but his spirit is strong, and he is determined to get back out playing again. Pat is a professional drummer and teacher in the Tampa Bay area. He has multiple CDs out with airplay in the US and Europe. When asked to describe himself, he wrote, "I Love My Life, My family, My Soul Mate, My Music, My Children, and MOSTLY God!" Because he is a full-time musician and cannot work, any financial help you can give to help him thru this tough time is so appreciated. As the great James Brown would say..."Give The Drummer Some!"
