In a benefit show spearheaded by Gary Burden, friends and neighbors of the Denver arts community banded together last night to raise funds for Mike Marchant, a local musician who was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma.  As many of you know, being a full-time artist often equates to being uninsured or underinsured.  Every contribution last night helped to reduce the financial expenses Mike is incurring.  Please show your support for Mike by donating or purchasing music from him!
