Beausoleil
Dubbed “ the best dance band y o u ’ll
ever hear,” by R olling Stone m agazine,
Beausoleil stirs up a rich, varied musical
sauce that mixes Cajun and zydeco music
with blues, country, Tex-M ex and C arib­

Charlie Musselwhite
Charlie M usselw hite’s classic har­
monica sound is firmly rooted in M emphis
and Chicago-style blues, but also injected
with the high energy o f rock n ’roll. A
veteran perform er, M usselw hite released
his first album in 1966, and in 1994 he
continues to win aw ards for his raw, em o­
tional music.

When her mother was preparing to bring her
home to Portland, to Doembecher Hospital, she
found herself with a loaded gun pointed at her

she’d gone to get a few flowers for the caring

devoted family. They need our support and
concern! Ours is a com m unity that can rise
to this occasion! Cheyanne has recently also
been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Her
future health will clearly require some ex­
traordinary measures. Please Come! Please
