Because I Completely Support This Cause

We all know good and well that most musicians struggle to make ends meet. While we go and support their art, it's not enough for them to live on much less provide the means to take care of their medical needs. I support SIMS and want you to consider doing the same. Here's how you can do just this...

SIMS is holding an eBay auction July 11-20 to raise funds to provide counseling and other mental health services for Austin-area musicians and their families (www.simsfoundation.org).

Here’s a link to the eBay auction (where you can find photos and descriptions):
