Our wonderful friend, Ward Harston, has been fighting for his life, due to a car accident on March 18th, 2015. He is a genius musician and plays over 30 instruments. Ward even shared his musical passion with my son who currently plays saxonphone all over the world and also teaches.
Ward is on a ventilator and mostly paralyzed. There has been small improvements over the last couple of weeks, but he will be unable to work and pay his bills for a very long time. When he gets stronger, he will be going to a rehab facility to fight his hardest life’s battle. Ward has always given to the community and children through his music. Whatever we can pay forward to him would be a blessing and so gratefully appreciated. Thank you so much for including him in your prayers, also.

[There apparently was no insurance to help Mr. Harston so please donate whatever you can. Just remember if 100 people pitch in $10 each, that’s another $1,000 to help Mr. Harston out.]

Legendary Bluesman B.B. King Hospitalized
B.B. King, the legendary king of the blues, has been hospitalized. His daughter, Claudette, told the Los Angeles Times that her father was suffering from dehydration caused by his Type II diabetes but “is much better.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, 89, was admitted to an undisclosed Las Vegas medical center over the weekend, according to TMZ, which first reported the hospitalization.
Last October, King — a famously relentless concert performer — canceled all shows citing ill health, and he has remained out of the public eye since.
King is best known for his beloved guitars, all called “Lucille,” and a catalog of seminal songs, including “The Thrill Is Gone,” “Let the Good Times Roll,” and his collaboration with U2, “When Loves Comes to Town.”

UPDATE: Mr. King has been released from the hospital and is feeling much better but prayers for his continued good health would be appreciated.
