<div>Hi, Rico Anderson here. I've been managing and booking the band for a long time. Pat, his brother Larry, and I went to school together and grew up in the Wayzata/Hamel area. The beginnings of the band started way back then.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pat 'Lamont' Hayes has kept the Lamont Cranston Band up and running since 1969. They've been all over the country and beyond a few times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pat suffered another stroke recently on December 9 (he had a mild one in 2023). He is still having a little tough time of it, but is working his way through rehab on a slow recovery. We're all hoping for a speedy and full recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The band is his only source of income, so with all of the medical bills and other expenses he's facing, we thought it was time to reach out to all of our friends and fans. For most it's embarrassing, but reality has had to set in for now. A LOT of people have already jumped on board and have asked what they can do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Pat and The Lamont Cranston Band have been a mainstay around here for years and we have heard from soooo many people with their fond memories, best wishes, and offers of help. Pat has given this town so many years of music and memories that it's maybe time to step up to help if we can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Or, even if you just want to share your favorite memory or story or anecdote - your school dance, your reunion, your favorite festival, your favorite song, etc. Anything would be great to hear and would be a treat to hear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lets get him back up and rolling along and keep his great music going. If you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated and would help out a great deal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can also reach to me for any details - Rico
</div>
<div>Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
</div>
