It's the typical story that Buddy Miles has passed away without any money or insurance.

If at any point Buddy's music (live or via record) has provided you with any joy, you might consider contributing what you can to assist in his burial.

I'm on it !
Thanks, TA

I'll do this today. Thanks tA!

Thanx for this info.

The paypal address to send money should be "buddymiles@live.com" correct? I know I am being picky but I don't think the transaction will work without the ampersand.

freshyface said:

That's correct.
I called Lupita and confirmed that as being the correct email address.
She's going to be sending me some info on a benefit show being done on his behalf in Austin at the end of March.

Thanks. Good looking out!
