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, tonight at 6:30 or so at the Fine Line Music Cafe in downtown Minneapolis.

Hope you can make it!
