Kim Coletta and Bill Barbot from Desoto Records have informed us of a charity cause we think our readers might take interest in. Rather than summarize, I've posted the message directly below, which concerns legendary musician/producer J. Robbins and his newborn baby, Cal.

Hi friends of J. Robbins, Janet Morgan and Cal Robbins:

J. and Janet's baby boy Cal was born with a serious genetic condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Though there is no cure for this condition, there are lots of treatments that promise to give Cal the the best possible quality of life. Unfortunately, many of these, especially the alternative treatments, are not covered by health insurance.

J. and Janet have given so much over the years to the music community we're all a part of, so Bill and I are hoping you can see in your hearts to help them out now. We've set up a website with more information and a place to make a donation. All of the money will go straight to J. and Janet to help defray their growing medical bills.

Thanks for your support and feel free to send this email on to folks who might likewise be interested in helping.

Take care
Kim Coletta and Bill Barbot
