One year ago, Catlick Records, The Cultural Society, & Letterbox released For Callum: A 2CD Compilation to Benefit Callum Robbins. The response to our effort has been remarkably generous & I’d like to thank (again) everyone whose work made the compilation possible, as well as those of you who have helped spread the word, bought it, or donated to Callum’s care fund besides or instead.
Though Callum’s condition is currently stable, his need for continued care & support has not diminished; nor have the costs of his treatment. Bearing these costs in mind, I appeal to you on this anniversary to buy a copy of For Callum &/or otherwise make a donation to Callum’s care fund. I remind you further that any progress made in the course of Callum’s treatment conceivably benefits the other thousands of babies who suffer from SMA. So even though Callum remains the focal center of our fundraising efforts, we believe that we’re working towards a larger goal as well.
Thanks again.

In conjunction with Intermedia Arts‘ terrific 55408 show, The Beat Coffeehouse, The Cultural Society, & Letterbox are putting on a show: Colin Monette will play his music, Bill Mike will play his music, & then Amanda Nadelberg & I will read some of our poems. You can get the full scoop here. I look forward to seeing you.
