I want to take a minute on this Thanksgiving Monday to say “Thank You” to our subscribers, who have stood by be during the last very difficult weeks I’ve spent in hospital.

Your support during this trying time has meant a lot.

I am recovering and hope to be out of the hospital and back in less limited action quite soon with daily listings to help music lovers sort through the tangle of online and live shows and performers in spreading awareness of their upcoming gigs.

I am however, also facing another big challenge once I do overcome the health issue sufficiently to resume more complete production. Between the impact of COVID protocols on many of my supporters and what will probably end up being seven weeks in hospital, my income has plummeted to near zero and I have a lease renewal requiring a double rent payment at the end of the month for which I am ill-prepared to manage.  I’m hoping the next round of government supports for businesses and individuals will this time allow for me to be eligible but need to figure out alternatives in case they do not or in case the money doesn’t flow quickly.

For anyone reading this who wants to help keep the Moon shining, whether you’re a subscriber or not, you can make a donation through PayPal by sending it to [email protected] or send an Interac email-transfer to that address.

And of course those who aren’t a subscriber yet can both help me through this difficult time and get all the benefits of being part of the Moon family by becoming one, simply by sending $60 through the above methods or by clicking on the “Buy No”w icon on the website front page.

And once again, a special outpouring of gratitude to all those who support me throughout the year as subscribers.  Here’s hoping we can keep the Moon reflecting the light of the stars we know for many moons to come!
