The Spondylitis Association Of America (SAA) is a non-profit organization that was the first and remains the largest resource for people affected by spondylitis. Through their efforts, they help advance education, research and treatment for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and related diseases. More than 85,000 people per month visit SAA's interactive website to access over 1,700 pages of up-to-date content for information and support. For more than 25 years’ SAA has dedicated all of its resources to help improve the lives of people coping with spondylitis.

"This is a very personal benefit for me as my wife, Naomi, suffers from ankylosing spondylitis (AS).", says Lazlo, "I have seen the debilitating effects of this disease and the chronic pain and discomfort it causes. This benefit is the least I can do to help my wife, and over a million others who suffer from AS."

The benefit runs from 12noon Friday October 19th until Sunday night October 21st. It will be broadcast on http://www.BlowupRadio.com

The complete schedule will be announced in early October.

Lazlo’s Corner

I am so busy with the webathon, but I wanted to get some brief blurbs up about some really good tunes (I really wish I had time to write more than a brief sentence about each).

THE TIMID ROOSEVELTS – “FOR A NEW DEAL” (CD) awesome female fronted post-punk indie rock www.thetimidroosevelts.bandcamp.com

RICK BARRY – “TIM’S SONG” (single) Singer-songwriter-storyteller Rock Barry returns with a new single with more to it than the average album. www.rickbarry.bandcamp.com

D’ARCY – “SHOOT MY LOVE” (EP) How in the hell was I unaware of this NJ band until this past week? They rock!!! http://darcytheband.bandcamp.com/album/shoot-my-love

VARIOUS ARTISTS – LAWLESS SOUNDTRACK (CD) The movie did not look that interesting (though Nick Cave did write the screenplay), but this soundtrack with music by Nick Cave and a host of guests, is a bluegrass/mountain music/rockabilly fan’s dream! www.nickcaveandwarrenellis.com/works/lawless-2012
