Being For the Benefit of Mr. Mike


	PART I : THE ALBUM Recently, Mike Boyle, a life-long, full-time musician from the Fox Valley, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. His first symptom was the loss of all movement in his left arm and hand. Without proper treatment he may never play guitar again and since his diagnosis, he hasn't had the means to support himself.

			In support of Mike, local artists are coming together to record a Beatles tribute album in which all proceeds will go towards "the benefit of Mr. Mike". The album is featuring Fox Valley Favorites such as Vic Ferrari, Boxkar, Annex, Andy’s Automatics, Helen Exner and Copper Box. The CD will also feature reunions of The Cool Waters Band, The Electric Bananas and a grand finale of all musicians involved. "Where can I pick up a copy?" you ask. Keep reading!

	PART II : THE SHOW The album release date will coincide with a benefit conert at Waverly Beach in Menasha, WI on Feb 22, 2008. The show will feature Vic Ferrari, Boxkar, and Boogie and the Yo YoYoz as well as other special guests. The show starts at 8pm. A $10 donation at the door will go towards the Benefit of Mr. Mike.
