Submitted by Debbie L. Holmer

On Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Hill House of Mendocino, local musicians will join together in a benefit for Mendocino Stories and Music Series producer Pattie DeMatteo, to help defray the cost of her illness. Pattie was diagnosed with curable cancer in March of this year.

With a jumpin’ bluesy house band - Johnny Bush, Phil Dunn and Jamie Gilliam - many special guests will appear, including Lenny Laks, Richard Fienbop, Sue Sisk, Marcus McCallen, Denny Lunsford, Tommy Brown, Steven Bates, Buddy Stubbs and more. Les Tarr will MC. Lenny Laks wrote, “Mendocino is a community that needs lots of music ... music makes us come together and groove. Providing this music is a lot of work and is always overlooked. Pattie does this ... so we can say thanks for the hard work.

Doors open at 6:30PM, music at 7:30PM. Dinner menu and full bar. $20 suggested donation at the door. $25 per person for reserved table seating. The Mendocino Stories retail shop will be open with CDs, books and Ukulele Fever T-shirts. For more information, call 937-1732 or visit www.mendocinostories.com.
