On Tuesday, the 2nd of September, a very special album (I can't
help myself; that's what we always called them!) will be released. It
has been the project of my friend & fellow parkie, Bob Benjamin, who is
also the executive producer of LIGHT OF DAY: A TRIBUTE TO BRUCE
SPRINGSTEEN. This project was organized by Sal Trepat, the publisher of
the Spanish Springsteen fan magazine Point Blank, and Bob Benjamin, who
manages Springsteen's friend Joe Grushecky. They were assisted by
singer-songwriter Elliott Murphy, who also performs the song
"Better Days" on the set.
This 2-disc set features a veritable smorgasbord of talent with 37
artists doing covers of Bruce's songs. The project features performances
by Elvis Costello, Pete Yorn, Patty Griffin, Billy Bragg, Dion, Joe Ely,
and E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren, among others and seeks to
honor "The Boss" for his songwriting abilities.
The artists recorded the songs and then donated them for this cd.
Proceeds from Light Of Day will benefit two charities - the
Parkinson's Disease Foundation and the Kristen Ann Carr Fund, which was
established after the death of Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr's
daughter. The Kristen Ann Carr Fund raises money for the fight against
rare sarcoma cancer tumors. Producer Bob Benjamin is a fundraiser for
Robin Elliot & the PDF and has held three concerts at which "The Boss"
was a surprise guest.

So here is your chance to buy some great music and to donate to
Parkinson's Disease.
