Hidden Love For Peter Case.


I've been a fan of Peter Case for what seems like forever. Maybe it was "A Million Miles Away." Who knows.

He wrote on his blog:
On January 15 I underwent emergency open heart surgery, at a hospital in Santa Monica. The surgery was successful, but I am now on a long program of recovery. In other words, I'm glad to be alive, but it really kicked my ass.

Like so many working musicians, he had no medical insurance. So he's got some big fat bills coming his way. Some of his friends have organized Hidden Love Medical Relief. They describe it thus-ly:
Hidden Love Medical Relief is an effort by Peter’s friends, fans and fellow artists to help alleviate the burden of these mounting medical bills so that Peter can recover, get back and focus on what he does best – writing and performing his songs. No one involved with Hidden Love is going to make money on this endeavor. That's not the point. All money raised through this effort and the Hidden Love Benefit Concert will be applied to Peter’s medical expenses.

That link-y thing will take you to the site. Give one of Peter's records a listen, and you'll realize you really should give generously.
