On January 9, 2009, the town of Pacific, Washington was flooded when the Army Corps
\nof Engineers mistakenly released too much water from a dam upstream. There was
\nno warning of the impending flood and town residents, including legendary
\nguitarist Jerry Miller, had 5 minutes to make their escape. That was just enough
\ntime to save Beulah (his lifelong favorite guitar), an old amp, and his dog. All
\nother worldly possessions, including 40 years of rock memorabilia, are gone.<\/p>\n

The memorabilia is priceless and irreplaceable. But life goes on. And so do
\nlife’s needs. The Army Corps of Engineers has admitted its error and the
\ngovernment has promised aid to the flood victims. But Katrina has taught us not
\nto bank on government promises.<\/p>\n

Jerry has to start over, and is in need of the basic necessities of life.
\nNearby friends have donated clothing, but he has yet to secure a new residence
\nand the cost of living in a motel is creating an extreme hardship. Plans are
\nunderway for a benefit concert and new unreleased recordings will soon be for
\nsale along with autographed CDs. But in the meantime, cash is in short supply.<\/p>\n

A flood relief fund has been set up to accept donations via PayPal. Because
\nJerry has yet to find permanent housing, mailing checks is not a viable option.
\nIf you have PayPal account, you know what to do. Donors who do not have a PayPal
\naccount can click on the “Donate” button and follow simple
\ninstructions to use either a checking account or credit card to send money. The
\nmoney will be delivered instantly \u2013 a great help at this time! 100% of the
\ndonations will go directly to Jerry Miller (minus the nominal PayPal fee).<\/p>\n

As we all know, Jerry has a generous heart and would be the first to come to
\nthe aid of friends in need. We thank you in advance for doing the same for him.<\/p>\n

To donate, please go to www.JerryMillerBand.com <\/a>and click on the News story
\n“Jerry Miller Flood Relief fund.” The PayPal button is at the bottom
\nof the news story.<\/strong><\/p>\n
