Hello friends of the phenomenon known as Craig "Cannonball" Cannon. The man with the moves like Jagger and the heart of gold. You all know that Craig would give any of us the shirt off his back. Now he needs to get by with a little help from his friends.

Craig has been suffering from a debilitating knee problem for several years now. After years of fighting the system, he has finally battled the insurance companies "to their knees" and is scheduled to have a full knee replacement on September 26.

The recovery is painful and requires comprehensive and focused physical therapy, or the knee can freeze and end up with less than full function, meaning only sad, partial disco kicks from then on. Craig will need time to recover and won't be able to do any of his jobs for several weeks if he is to recover fully. As we all know, that makes it hard to pay the mortgage and the bills in this cold, hard capitalist society.

Thus the ask. Please chip in whatever you can to help Cannon the man. Let's get this duke of the dancefloor back out there making life more fun for all of us. If we all pitch in a little, it will go a long way to helping Craig get back in the game. Much love, people.
