Last August, Joe Stone – the son of Ron Stone, the general manager at AM1280, who is kind enough to give me two hours of air time a week – had a very serious parasailing accident in Montana.

He was a lucky as one could be in a situation like that; although he fell nearly 150 feet, there happened to be an off-duty paramedic parasailing right behind him; he was able to land and stabilize Joe until help could arrive.

Obviously, Joe was hurt bad, and is very very very lucky to be alive.  He’s recovering at a hospital in  the Twin Cities, where he’s got a lot of physical therapy and just plain healing up to do.

Anyway – there’s going to be a benefit for Joe, and to help the Stone family defray some of the medical expenses, this coming Monday at the Fine Line Music Cafe in downtown Minneapolis.

Hope you can make it!
