Subject: Rocco Prestia update

Just got an email from Will Lee of the Letterman Show - he's put an icon and
picture of Rocco on his own website as has the great Victor Wooten.  Bass
players the world over are reporting in asking what can they do.

Recieved this quote from one of the giants of todays bassists, John
Patittuci:

"Forget it man. The guy has not only been a serious influence on most of
today's major league players, he actually founded the damn league. Going to
see and hear Rocco Prestia play is like going back to school. He is the
Master."
John Patittucci, Bassist / Instructor
Bass Collective, New York City

When you get a second, check out the site set up for the fund @
http://www.francisroccoprestia.com/

and if you've ever stole a lick from the Rock or listened and enjoyed him,
dig a little into the wallet and donate on the site. It is a race against
time.

Thanks
