On Wednesday night Buttin and I were super lucky!
We went attended a small (about 150 people) Kris Kristofferson concert (they also served us a little dinner) at the Star Hill Ranch (very nice place). Here we are!
The event was actually a small benefit/wrap party for a movie - "The Road To Austin" benefiting the Stephen Bruton Foundation.
Stephen Bruton was a very talented studio musician and he died of cancer in 2009. His friends and family started the foundation based on the idea of - why do we wait until people get sick to help them?
The foundation was set up to help musicians with screenings for diseases and they're working on some pretty advanced blood test (with some scientist/doctor-type people).
Sadly, I couldn't find a way to donate to them online (couldn't even find a website) so I donated $20 to Love, Hope, Strength - The Worlds Leading Rock N Roll Cancer Foundation.
I've contacted one of the founders of the Stephen Bruton Foundation to inquire about giving a donation, so I'll update later if I get information.
We loved the concert, but the highlight of the evening was probably when Buttin asked Kris Kristofferson to say "Happy Birthday" to Cash.
SUPER COOL (the video). So glad you guys had fun.
