Banjo playing artist Thomas Boatwtight’s cat Yoshi is having some serious health issues. He is asking for help on his web page.

As of now, we’re looking at $600 by tomorrow evening. And that’s if it goes well. Hopefully we caught it early and he’ll get flushed out. If the problem is bigger, there’s no idea what the final total will be.
Thanks to my recent commission sale, the first costs aren’t such a hit. Definitely a sucker punch, but still standing. Hopefully we can put up a good fight and keep the little guy alive for a while longer.

Back when I had my BAHA implant surgery Thomas created an amazing print of legendary banjo hero Gus Cannon to help raise some funds to cover expenses.

I will have copies of this print with me tomorrow at the banjo workshop in Bedford, PA. Be sure to buy a print and we will send the money to Thomas to help with Yoshi’s recovery.
