Not to be snarky, but the allmusic bio refers to Terry Karydes as "she" while everyone in the above photo appears to be male.

thanks! I had the wrong lineup up there. corrected.

isn't the one on the left female?

and one more thing... what is the benefit actually *for*?

She has been living with Parkinson's for 10 years and her expenses are enormous.

By the way she is the one on the left in photo.

I am stunned to hear that Terry has Parkinson's. I will be at the benefit.

BV had a different photo up there originally.

Dear All, thank you for your interest. Parkinsons gradually destroys the body's ability to move (interior and exterior muscles), breathe, speak, etc. We with "pd" (as we call it) move irregularly:slowly,shaking,shuffling, writhing, staggering. When medication works we may appear normal for hours, then freeze suddenly like a sick game of red-light-green-light. Insurance covers a limited portion of the costs incurred in our battle to hold back its degenerative process. Current medical treatments alleviate symptoms, have heavy side effects, and are not curative. Most physical exercise and stress reduction programs; transportation, in-home care, pain management; and nutritional and complimentary therapies, are outside the coverage of standard insurance. Some drug co-pays are as much as $70/mo. for instance. Long term care insurance must be purchased separately. This is just a quick answer, not comprehensive. The good news is, doctors now say that playing music helps maintain neural pathways and regenerative abilities (brain plasticity). Thank you for the opportunity to communicate about this.

look forward to helping out!
