Mark Hummel here. I’m fundraising for a dear friend, guitarist , harp blower, vocalist annd bandleader Andy Santana. Andy has been ill with a devastating disease, though he’s still able to function basically. Andy has been struggling financially as a result and I’m both organizing a couple benefits in Sept & Oct but also need to put money in his hands immediately. Santana is one of our most talented, sweet, generous, gracious musicians in NorCal and deserves our love and care NOW. Andy has started and employed most of the top guys in the San Jose, Sacramento, Santa Cruz & Sonoma blues scenes. Folks like Mike Schermer ,Rusty Zinn, June Core, Kedar Roy, Junior Watson, Johnny Cat Soubrand, RW Grigsby, Kyle Rowland, Paul Durkett, Aki Kumar all can say Andy was part of their musical history here.
