Ellington

Long time Mississippi vocalist/harmonica blues artist is starting a second round of treatment for cancer of the throat. He received treatments and was improving but learned recently that the cancer had returned. His doctors are trying to save his voice. Myers had returned to limited engagements with Anson Funderburg and the Rocketts after the first round of treatments. His voice was weak but his spirits were strong. He was still blowing a mean harp. He is based in Dallas. Two immediate needs are prayer and financial assistance with the medical bills. Donations can be made to Southwest Blues Heritage Foundation, PO Box 71058, Dallas, TX 75371 for Sam Myers.
