There’s a new event on the “Events” page: this Friday the 17th, Portland string band Ebenezer will play the Mississippi Pizza happy hour and pass the hat for Bill. And check out this great idea, from an email from the band’s fiddler, Caitlin Daum:
. . . Also, sneak preview – for the past year + Ebenezer has been saving their tips in Patrick Pressley’s guitar case, waiting for something worthwhile to spend them on. It looks like Bill Martin is what we were waiting for. I’ll let you know the final tally when we deposit the cash after next week’s show.


I dontated $50 a couple of weeks ago and it was recently returned to my account via a recent email from PayPay saying “Friends of Bill Martin” did not sign up for PayPal account or did not complete registration process.” Does anyone know about this. I would still like for him to get my money. It also said to Please contact Friends of Bill Martin at bigsut1@aol.com to arrange alternate payment, which I did, and that email got returned. ??? Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks. Neal
I am so blown away at how interesting the info is on this site. I have saved this web site and I really intend on visiting the site in the next few days. Keep up the excellent work!
