Greetings!

EMERGENCY!  The entire furnace system at Artichoke died and went to hell today.  The weatherman is calling for snow.  It's Christmas.   Artichoke Community Music needs a miracle!

Keep the heat on and give your tax-deductible dollars to Artichoke Community Music and turn the heat back on for Christmas.  It's going to take $20,000 and Artichoke needs your help right now.
 
The hearts at Artichoke are warm.  Richard and Jim have literally given Artichoke Music to the Portland community by creating Artichoke COMMUNITY Music, a fledgling non-profit aimed at sustaining and nourishing the musical heart of the folk community.  Richard's mantra, "This place belongs to YOU" is true. Do what needs to be done.  Don't turn a cold shoulder on the warmest place in town.  Warm it up!

Call 503-232-8845 or stop by the shop TODAY to donate to turn the heat on at Artichoke. 

A fundraiser potluck THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, 12/13,  features TOM MAY in the Backgate.  Steve and I will join the lineup on stage.  Come snow or not, we will be there to sing, commune and raise the roof for the new furnace at Artichoke Community Music.  Put on your wool and get down to Artichoke.  Together, we can make miracles.  Any amount will help.  Pick up the phone, head down to the shop, answer the call and help warm Artichoke up TODAY.  Wherever you live, Artichoke is here for YOU.  Be a miracle maker.  You are part of the greatest community in the world.   Let's show them how its done. 

Thank you.
