Dan Velarde has been a talented musician for decades. He is the sweetest, most giving man I have ever met, and I fell in love with his whole family when I first met them. Dan had a stroke, and the hospital had to release him because the insurance was at its limit. That also meant the insurance would not cover physical therapy.

I know we all want to hear Dan sing and play that harmonica again. If you can not make it to The Mirage on March 5, 2022, from 2 - 5, don't worry, we got you covered. We are live streaming the show and taking donations online. All we need is 4000 wonderful loving people to donate $5. I have more Facebook friends than that, and considering how many The Velarde family has, we should exceed $20,000. That will also help pay for the frozen, broken pipes in the basement at the cost of $3500 when Dan came home from the hospital. WE CAN DO THIS....TOGETHER!
