Topic: Helping Out Blues Guitarist Anthony Gomes
I just read on Anthony's FaceBook page:
Tonight, while I was driving on I-55 my touring vehicle caught on fire and very quickly became totally engulfed in flames. I lost a great deal of equipment, most of my music library and most of my clothes. I was able to rescue my guitars before the van was completely on fire. I so am very blessed that I made it out in one peace. My guardian angel was working overtime tonight. Many thanks to the Illinois State Police and Normal Fire Department for responding so quickly.
One of his fans has organized a group to help lend a hand. Anthony is a great guy and a very talented guitarist. I know many on the Forum here have seen him. I know there have been people offering equipment, money, etc...... Just one of those challenges in life that with a little help from friends can make it all seem bearable. I'm sure if nothing else Anthony would be very appreciative of good wishes sent his way. ♥
