Troy is one of my dearest friends. I just talked to him a few minutes ago on the phone, in fact. I actually stay with him several times a month and have been amazed at his attitude and positive outlook through this trying ordeal. However, I'm not going to kid you... although he has a loving, helpful family and good friends, his needs are great. His recovery is slow, and his medical bills and financial needs are mounting. If you can possibly make it, I know he would surely appreciate your just being there at the event.
I've posted this before, but it's appropriate that I post it again, here. This is a short video that we made as a way to help show what he's been through. We haven't edited anything post-surgery, however, and just so you know... he's dropped about 20 pounds since his stomach-removal surgery in January. He's hanging in there, however... and his long-term prognosis is optimistic.
If you watch the video, be sure to have some tissues handy just in case.
BTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be coming down to FLA for this!! Can't wait! Troy is a wonderful man and an awesome musician!! There are going to be a great group of musicians donating their time for this worthy cause!

Wish I could be there just for the artists that are showing up! I met Troy briefly at MOTM 2009 and he seemed like a down to earth good guy. My prayers are with him now - and I hope everyone has a great time June 5th!!
